Stainless steel bolt snaps and 32# line to tie them on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! My only caveat is Id like to take fundies this summer however if I cannot, should advanced nitrox be on the table? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello all, I have a question in regards to TDI's Technical Courses which I figured you lot would be best able to answer. After finally getting posted to a base, which is incidentally in the plains..., I have gotten in touch with a local dive store to get involved with the local dive scene...

Again, as stated in the other thread, it will vary. 38lbs sounds excessive though. What type of tank is on your back? If you are having trouble with this get an experienced buddy to help you do a weight check. Worst case go to your LDS to have a DM or instructor help you out. Sent from my...

What size is the wing? What exposure protection are you wearing? What type of tank are you using? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Usually my feet depending on how active I am (besides obviously around your mouth). Other then that my forearms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmm. Is there any cold water kits for it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How well does the mk25 perform in waters as cold as 36-39 degrees? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Id be willing to buy the 40lb wing from you but I have some circumstances which I can let you know about in PM. Pm me and we can talk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---------- Post added May 3rd, 2014 at 07:16 PM ---------- Teller I tried to respond to your PM but your inbox is full...

True enough. Tech 1 is a goal of mine I was simply looking at Rec 3 as a stepping stone. However if T1 teaches essentially the same thing with better and safer gases then that makes a lot more sense as well.

All fair points. Would it be reasonable to take the course to develop the skill sets taught on the Rec 3 course and slowly progress up to the level of Tech 1 or would it be a better use of time and money to jump into tech 1 and get a broader selection of topics and education under your belt.

Just wondering if anyone has done these courses and if they would be willing to post their experiences doing the course as well as any big lessons learned since. Also, how does the progression work? On the GUE site it mentions a prerequisite of the REC 3 is fundamentals or REC 1.. Logically...

Thanks!

Thanks for all the great answers people. I generally don't as the group I dive with doesn't. But I will start to and hopefully they will see the benefit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For those diving HID lights (where the advice I've gotten is, turn it on at the start of the dive and turn it off at the safety stop) what would you suggest? Also, do you have it deployed in your hand or just clipped off?

Specifically those using can lights but I'd appreciate anyone's answer. Do you take your primary light on every dive, including those where its use wouldn't be readily apparent (i.e.: during the day). Whatever the answer is, why?

Just me thinking here but if you are using a BC + drysuit you have two sources of buoyancy. Drysuit flood means you inflate wing and abort the dive. Wing failure means you inflate drysuit to provide neutral or slightly positive buoyancy and swim up. Why add an extra hose which may confuse you in...

That was my opinion... at 750 I figured I might as well spend the extra money for a set of steels. I will be going to talk to the owner of the shop in question to see if I can bring the price down a bit today.

No I just have a feeling that this individual is trying to swindle people... I will discuss pricing with him when I check the tanks out but if he can't bring it down I'll just walk.
