This question was posed because I was curious as to what the reasons could be not to log dives besides the obvious,you people did not disappoint.I have enjoyed reading all of the responses including the ones that required aspirin for my hurt feelings,just kidding.Alot of the old school printed...

I would like to know which computers out the automatically down load your amount of weight and the exact equipment configuration you used?????? Let me know I will certainly buy one of those.

I see this status more than I would anticipate.The main reason I log dives is because I have 7 wetsuits hanging on my wall and I dive both fresh and salt water.Just trying to remember how much weight to dive with what suit can be challenging.My question is why or why not log dives????

Bottom line is still even though there are a lot of similarities between Firefighting and Scuba such as operating in an environment that cannot sustain our life form without kick ass equipment,protection etc, additional training and/or certification is most certainly required if crossing over...

I have seen PLENTY of divers with C cards whose skills completely sucked,I think it all depends on your instructor and your level of dedication.And you can assess your self taught skills against other divers that you observe,im not saying that everyone should try to teach themselves,im just...

Well Put NW I was talking with another diver in a parking lot after diving and he was checking out my 19 pony, he then made the comment that his spare air was good enough for recreational depth.He stated that he could get 50 breaths from his spare air setup because he had done so sitting in his...

Well put Derwood,I think what we are getting at is even though we are very safety and equipment oriented people in general as fire fighters,its like comparing apples to rocks....................

I was feeling very dreamy at 85 feet one time and I looked at my spg 6 times and couldn't remember my psi reading.I realized I must be narced and ascended 15 feet and it was like a mental reset button.All back to norm after that.

Why not if you can perform all of the skills required and you had researched it properly.Why would a C card alone guarantee you are properly trained,it depends on your instructor.In cave diving if you taught yourself reel work with lost line recoveries,redundant air supply,total gas management...

I had to throw this one in, I am a SOLO Fire Fighter and I dive solo.There are SOME similarities in both but I definitely sought a LOT of info about solo diving.I am also a Fire Instructor for the State of Florida (7 years now,fire fighting for 20).IMO fire fighter training by itself would not...

You people are way off,SCUBA BOARD is one of the best references out there................. :D

I use a Sherwood Wisdom and it is VERY accurate.It calculates consumption rate and I have mine set for a 500 psi reserve after safety or deco.I still do manual calculations before dives.As for buddys air I can just hand off my pony.

I am NAUI OW Padi Advanced and SSI Nitrox

1.4 for planned dive with 1.6 for contingency

Very good responses to the concept of situational awareness,I teach several classes directly dealing with S.A.I would like to add that risk management is greatly improved with good S.A. Fire Instructor # xxx782

I dive a wisdom air intergrated comp I have a watch and an analog depth gauge as back up.If my comp fails and I had recently looked at my tank pressure then by doing my SAC rate on my slate I would roughly know my air supply,however the dive would be scrubbed anyway.I do carry a spare spg just...

Keep in mind normal respirations here on the surface are around 12-20 respirations per minute.I just spoke with my best friend who has been a Respiratory Therapist for 20 years,he said that the I to E ratio ( I=inhale and E= exhale) should be 1:2,example if you inhale for 2 seconds you should...

In a year or 2 chances are the standards will change AGAIN,I have been a Firefighter for 20 years.

:rofl3::laughing::rofl3::laughing: too funny

OW divers at Devils Eye are NOT allowed to possess lights.I hope that didnt really occur.
