Thank you for the post. From a purely recreational perspective, I found this post to be one of the best i have read in a while thank you.

Can't wait. I have invited 4 new divers for their first ever Night Dive. We are expecting a nice turn out for the Cape Town dive. Thanks Tony. I have three dives scheduled for tomorrow, any excuse right!

we have some great operators here in Cape Town. It all depends on what you want to do when you are here. Shallow wreck dive,reef dives diving with sharks and seals. As mentioned above check out Ollava also check out Pisces Divers Welcome to Pisces Divers - Cape Town, South Africa as well as Dive...

At the end of a 35m dive just as i was deploying my SMB a diver had a BC problem and began a uncontrolled ascent. I managed to grab their leg flair, dump my air and signal them to dump air, but id did not let go I got disorientated in a cloud of bubbles from the over expansion valve on the...

In South Africa at the Cape Ton Dive Festival2014 there was an indecent where a juvenile male 7 gill shark bit a diver on the shoulder. the shark reportedly showed aggressive behavior from the start of the dive and circled the buddy team 4 times before biting. This is the only indecent in Cape...

Pro HD From Aqualung is a great simple BC from Aqualung. In my experience through, I would definitely consider the Pearl from Aqualung because it was designed with woman in mind. That means that it is scalloped to fit womans hips and it also has support in the right places. I have found that...

I carry a red plastic folder, which i put on the windscreen of my car. It has a diver log as well as an emergency action plan, with instructions on calling DAN as well as nearest hospital and chamber. In the event i am the one that is incapacitated, i brief to break my car window and access the...

If you look in the manual preceding the question. there is an order that this training organization is looking for you to follow. Off the top of my head something like. What is the specific problem, what tools and resources do you have available, propose 3-4 solutions, implement one solution...

I always wash my regs attached to a tank with positive pressure when i get home from the site. Just check your regs. if they are the Titan LX version they may have ACD (Auto Closure Device) in which case, you can use any of the recommended solutions with little effect on the reg first stage.

Thanks, Interesting post. As a DMT myself starting last week, I would say that my skill set is adequate to begin the course but certainly not at demonstration level. Mask clear and reg retrieval are simple skills to master, but the last time I took my equipment off underwater was for OW. So...

HELLO DIVER! HELLO, HELLO DIVER! ARE YOU OK? Well first off let me trot out a few of those time worn clichés that you hear because, for this course they apply. ... “This course will change the way you dive!” ... “Best course you will ever do” ... “This course is very rewarding!” (Read...

Looking forward to testing out my new D810!

Good question. There are a number of factors, the first being that as you mention i love diving in Smitswinkle bay 25-35m, as well as many other deep sites. I am willing to dive shallower depths however if the risk factor is higher with deep dives. Second is that my perception is that at depth...

Hi all, If you will permit me to give you a little background information first. We commonly dive in cold water 10-15 Cecilius (50-59F) limited viability 1-5m (3-16) being the norm. I usually buddy with my father who is now, you guessed 70, he has about 50 dives and is generally in good health...

Wow Nice first reg. That thing breaths for you. If you are worried take a jug of water dip it in and breath the reg the noise will go away.

In my opinion if you are looking to do AOW and Rescue you will be much more comfortable in kit that you are familiar with. with regard to travel, i think it is wise to at least buy your regulator (which can fly as hand luggage in South Africa) you will always know how it has been looked after. I...

I will check tonight I probably have one at home you can have. Just need to check how it is stamped.

You do a dive plan with an insta buddy, and agree on how the dive will go then they totally ignore the plan. Fortunately i very seldom dive with instabuddies.
