Facial Hair could be problem too... handle bar moustache and a good seal can not co exist in the diving world.

ok, so that new info for me. BUT 1. For a single dive within the no decompression limit, a minimum preflight surface interval of 12 hours is suggested 2. For repetitive dives and/or multiday dives, a minimum preflight surface interval of 18 hours is suggested. 3. For dives requiring...

The 24hr rule is pretty clear on this.

If you are happier with getting the paper signed speak to management and make the process to be that way. Or Have front desk get the paperwork signed and have the divers bring it to you, and you give it back to them once you are back from the dive.

your welcome - I can just hear my wife, why do you need more diving equipment. :-)

AOW is more like experience the dive with the instructor as a safety net - mostly an experience dive and for your depth of 100 ft would be sufficient. Worry about picking a good instructor - that is what makes the difference.

that would be a serious issue with GUE... hahahaha:D;)

go ahead and give it another try. another thing you could do is provide the details of your friend's incident here or (to an instructor) and find out what happened - did your friend any basic rules? Understanding the incident will help you more than any other thing.

Move two pounds to the tank strap - should and will resolve the issue. Worked for me. Second option - use your glutes.

that would be a norm for some one starting out. ps: if you are a guy, never ever ever compare your breathing to a women - they just don't breathe under water :-)

1st - get proper training in blending before doing this for your self. Fairly simple thing to do, connect hose from 100% tank to Scuba Tank. open valves slowly and go for it. Ofcourse you need to know if tank is empty, or already has something in it - in which case how much and what mix. Ad 02...

Here is the deal. If you come back from your "dive" and HAVE to ask yourself if that was a dive - it probably wasn't. Tracking of dives are for you, so just be honest with your self. Personally, I would never count a pool dive.

Make sure you get someone to show you how to use it. Depending on agency and training or even preference, it could be either worn hog style (wrapped around you) used as a primary or wrapped along your back plate and used as a secondary most importantly, make sure you get someone to show you...

Go and have fun... easy stuff. Enjoy your dive.

Consider the advise. What is the reason for doing tec40, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 :-) Look into other agencies as well. When it come time for helium, i plan on going re-breather route. Much more cost effective. Good luck

What i was going to say. Why tec 40, 45, 50. Seems like a lot of hurdles. Look into other agencies...gives you a broader perspective.

get used stuff at your level. wait a year and see if you want to dive with new toys. there are many new divers who buy new stuff and don't get to use it and end up selling it for cheaps. best of luck

I always plan my purchases to conside with my trip to the US - if you can do that, GREAT! Once, I purchased online (US) and mailed it to my parents (Canada) ended up with 20% import tax. Since i reside in the middle east, I have just organized myself to shop either when I am heading to the US...

SCBA and SCUBA have a difference of a U which stands for Underwater. :-) I am being cheeky, yes I am :eyebrow: mostly I have seen the inverted ones with Rebreathers and like you mentioned with a casing - but then again they are smaller tanks.
