    Ik heb een tijdje geleden voor het eerst met een DPV kunnen spelen en zoals jullie je kunnen voorstellen kriebelt het wel om meer DPV duiken te gaan maken. Ik zag eerder in het thread al wat mensen langs komen die regelmatiger met DPVs duiken en ik vroeg me af of er nog plekken in NL zijn die...

    Doesn't Nylon absorb water, making it more brittle over time?

    Mares or OMS - Cant decide for the life of me....

    I'd skip the Mares and would go for an XDeep or Tecline instead. I wrote down my experiences with the Mares backplate in a different thread some time ago:

    Winter Diving In Sant Feliu de Guixols

    I've been diving with Krakendive in Tossa for the past two summers, but I know they're also open in winter. Their shop is right on the beach so it's easy to gear up there and just go have a nice dive. The Best way to reach them is through WhatsApp, not email. Their number is on the site (668 837...

    DIR- GUE Regulator Set Recommendations

    Maybe I missed it, but why not get the same (brand) regulators as the ones you use for your back gas? Makes getting them serviced easier, makes mixing primary and secondary stages easier as the IP is the same, and it’s one service kit less to keep in your save a dive kit. DS4’s are perfect for...

    knock on wood, but I’ve never needed it thankfully. So far I haven’t signed up for specific diving insurance. I checked with my travel insurance and they diving related incidents including transport, hyperbaric treatment, etc.

    Girona area - Lloret del Mar - question on dive shops

    I dove in both Estartit and Tossa and enjoyed both of them a lot. In Tossa we dove at Krakendive, which was great because it's the only dive shop that's right on the beach. That meant we could simply show up and don our gear to go for a dive together at any time. All other dive centers you need...

    She did notice it a bit but she also had very light fins. I think the problem would’ve been resolved with jet fins or similarly negative fins

    For most sites the visibility in winter is better I think. Fewer algae and fewer divers stirring everything up. I have a lightmonkey wing and my partner has an Xdeep, both are great! I'm not sure how it is for their single tank wings, but for the double tank wings, XDeep removed a bit of...

    It’s not a gue thing, I just think they made some very questionable choices in their wing design. My partner and I both have a Mares XR single tank wing and have found: - the inflators are badly built, mine failed catastrophically when an o ring slid over a bolt, and my partners slowly leans -...

    Starting out with a rec setup is the right approach for most people in my opinion! The only reason I switched was because of the long time between starting and finishing the course, and the amount of practice we did in the meantime. I would suggest to get comfortable with your gear before...

    Indeed I reached out to Sander and arranged everything with him directly. At some point he put the course on the gue site for us to register there as well. I think I paid 700 euros for the course itself. There’s also a registration fee that needs to be paid to gue directly. Definitely the most...

    Dutch scuba fans?

    Welcome! I started fundies together with my partner last year in late winter/early spring and due to a lot of rescheduling finished it a couple of months ago. I first got in touch with Martijn from the Aalscholvers but they don't do courses on saturday because he needs to help in the shop. He...

    Seaskin neck and wrist seal, user reviews?

    I have the quick neck with Siflex seals and it's working fine. No leaks so far and the peace of mind that waterside replacements are possible is worth a lot. Make sure to order an additional replacement seal though. The ring around your neck is noticeable above water but I don't find it...

    Exhaling while Inhaling: How Do I Stop It?

    I notice the same thing when I remove my mask. As soon as I inhale there's a big stream of bubbles exiting through my nose. I have the same regulator as you do and for me, it was 99% gone when I turned off the venturi. Might be worth a try for you as well.

    Regulator for tec

    @Angelo Farina Let me preface by saying I'm not an experienced deco diver, but the way I understand it is that bubbles form because of the pressure gradient between the pressure in your tissues vs the ambient pressure. If you replace the nitrogen content of the air you breath with oxygen...

    OOA after only a few minutes with a full tank at 17m

    I once had a buddy who checked my valve by opening it up and turning it back a quarter turn. Turns out that instead of opening the valve, they closed it and opened it only a bit. At the surface this is indeed fine but it can screw you at depth. Since then I kind of dislike the whole turning it...
