That's HOG gear so I'd imagine you'd have to chase down your local retailer. I don't know if it's actually available for public consumption just yet. Was literally just posted to the HOG/Edge page on Facebook about 15 minutes ago. Hope they don't mind me linking it here but it's too cool not to...
I don't leave my house without a knife in my pocket. I can't see going under water without one either.
Just like I'd never judge a person based upon their looks but on their actions - I don't judge divers on their knives (or lack thereof)
Congrats - this type of thread is my favorite. I'm not DIR but trending that way. Ordered Doing It Right: The Fundamentals of Better Diving tonight to make sure I know what I think I know about it so far. (interesting ordeal in itself - shipping was 8 dollars cheaper ordering if from GUE's site...
I post about diving. I don't get to dive as much as many here and as such I also have "liked" or requested to join several diving pages on FB. Not to interact but to learn and read.
I'd say tho that most of my diving posts on FB tend to be interesting (to me) youtube videos and different...
I thought the "drown proofing" picture was a nice touch. Doubt, for some reason that everyone showed up there in UDT style swim trunks though...
It would appear then that none of the pictures are from their classes, the video isn't from the class, the bio's aren't actually "SpecWar" - I'm just...
Sounds like it probably appeals to more than a few people, not to me tho.
Interesting find.
As a former/fellow white hat, I'd have a problem calling myself some variation of "Master (mission) Chief" - too much respect for the Chiefs I had to approximate their title. Just me tho and I hold no...
I think the answer really is as simple as "I did something new, absolutely love it and want to do it some more".
I've never had a day at my regular job that's been as good as any day diving. Doubt I'm the only one. It's human nature to look for the greener grass. Scuba/diving and pulling a...
I'll drop my 2 cents. I'm taking Nitrox this summer mostly because around here, there are a lot of neat wrecks deep enough where deco is necessary to see these wrecks. I know that in 2 or 3 years when I'm ready to start training for such diving, I'll need that Nitrox course to take the Advanced...
Thanks for the explanation. I suppose the idea is that with a loss of a BC and dry suit - you can use the dry suit as boyancy which is rudimentarly adjustable where a wetsuit wouldn't be, to help to swim up against the negative weight of steel tanks?
Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it. Just needed a zip code to nail down the address later so to speak. I find myself aligning more and more with a DIR way of diving so I am really looking forward to a BP/W and seeing the changes. Still haven't figured why "they" don't recommend an steel...
All -
Was wondering if there's a basic rule of thumb on changing from a jacket style BCD to BP/W and how it affects your weighting? Specifically amount.
Properly weighted in my rental BCD I carry 30lbs. 7mm wet suit. As I am purchasing my own gear and knowing I will go BP/W - I was...
I agree with this. My LDS did an OW class 2 weeks ago. Water temp? 41 F. Hoods were appreciated.
The hood is always included in the rental gear so it's up to the student. Most of them are adults and can make decisions for themselves. If I'm trusting a guy to set up his gear to be life...
Just wanted to say "Thanks" to the guys from SDI/TDI corporate here. I've found your willingness to share and be involved quite refreshing.
I am currently a PADI certified AOW (with only those 9 OW dives logged but unproveable. Why she took the logbook in the divorce is beyond me and that was...
Well - having read this thing front to end now I'll say this.
I plan to continue reading. Be it books, fora or the back of a cereal box, I'm gonna read it. I plan to dive more often. I am also taking a Nitrox course as a minimum. Mostly because I want the advantages Nitrox offers. Will that...
