Nice. Well, goodluck with diving and once again, welcome to the board :)

Nice... Buoyancy trim comes along with practice... I assume you're based in Georgia and you dive in the Atlantic?

Welcome to SB! Have a great time diving :)

Welcome to the board. I want to get into underwater photography. What would be a good camera you can recommend for macro images?

Welcome to the board man! I got certified May 17th, so not long after you did. How have your dives been going?

Yes, in place of neoprene/thermoprene... unless you're trying to keep your hands warm... I had friends dive with industrial kevlar gloves, they cost $50-$70 and they last a long while. Here in Florida, barnacles are everywhere, as well as oysters and mussels, etc. If you hold on to a rock with...

I put my gloves on before the dive, when I'm still dry. Gloves, especially the neoprene/thermoprene onces are a PITA when your hands are wet... If you have to put yours on underwater, buy yourself a pair of walmart construction or automotive gloves. They are dirt cheap and the hard rubber lasts...

Welcome man!

No but seriously. I was reading the first half and I'm like, that's wrong, it doesn't work that way... what did you think I mean?

Good thing you added the "I'm kidding" You really had me in the first half lol

Longtime Classic

Gotcha. Im not offended or anything. I will read the articles. Im based in Venice, FL

I think that was the study. I remember it was done in Europe. But the information in my first comment is correct though. If you stayed past 60 feet or at that level for long enough, it is strongly recommended to do a deep stop, but mark my words, not forced/or necessary. Read my first comment...

I read the study a good while ago. I just dont remember much so dont expect me to accurately recall info lol

No it's not even a computer algorith. It is a legitimate, physical study done on divers in late 1980s by ... im pretty sure, may be wrong... the american and french navy

Yeah exactly. I tried finding the study but i cant. Basically, it averaged the tissues and one deep stop + safety stop turned out to be the way to go. But its not that important if you didnt stay down long enough

I read a study that says that gas escapes tissues at exponential levels based on depth and pressure. So if your max depth was 60 feet and you stay there for 30 minutes, you will have to stay at 30 feet for 5 minutes min. and then stay at 15 feet for atleast 3 to ensure that the gas levels in...

Yes. Deep stop. I mean, it is a safety stop just half the total depth.

I realized I did not phrase myself correctly, so I edited my post earlier... idk why it did not save the first time so I edited it again... My dive computer doesn't lock out I did not say that. Safety stops are recommended... I said that too.

I changed it again... I mean, my dive computer is set to tell me to do the safety stops... because you know, better safe than sorry.
