No need to cross the long hose across your body. Stow the whole hose in your tank bands and clip the reg to a choker on the valve or tuck the mouthpiece under the hose. If you have to bailout you're going to the necklace reg. If you have to donate the long hose reg is right there on your right...
Soooooooo point of clarification. I have an DR LS, not the ray. If you look at the ray DR incorporated what makes the stealth so good. I'm a bigger guy though, so the X-deep wing fits me better.
Just end your NDL dives with 1 min @ 30', 2 min @ 20', and 3 @ 10'. You don't have to have a computer telling you that you have a deco stop to practice making them. When I was doing my cave training we did the above on every dive that didn't rack up deco just for the practice. Use the timer on...
I was just there the 9th through the 16th doing my CCR MOD2. We dived a lot of the sites you mention. We saw at least a half dozen anchors at Red Slave, but I didn't see any until we hit about 180'. The Windjammer is a great dive too, but it's in the 200' range and you need a guide to get access...
No to crawling in the surf, but I will be honest in that when diving it I don't feel like it gets in the way at all. The only time it's really intrusive to me is when I'm donning my fins on shore entries, but there's any easy fix for that. You just unclip one side of the unit and let it swing to...
I dive an O2ptima Chest Mount "Choptima". My 2psi on that unit is it can't be beat for versatility or ease of travel. I can and have dived with it in single tank BM, BM doubles, and SM configurations. Hell, you can even pull it off during the dive to squeeze through a restriction and then pick...
Fair enough, but I still will travel with my own harness, backplate and wing. What I'm getting at is training for advanced trimix without ever having set up a set of doubles isn't all that common.
Just curious, but how did you make it to advanced trimix without ever setting up or having your own set of doubles? I know how that sounds, but I am truly curious.
My 2psi, and I see this a lot with students. You're weighted fine and can probably descend fine, but when your feet start to come up you feel out of control and start to subconsciously hold more air in your lungs and breathe off the top of them. With fuller lungs you stop descending and the...
