    Backplate / harness fitting - doubles

    Yea arm against your face. Try reaching then and rotate your arm out and you'll see you can't reach as far because the rotator doesn't do that.

    BP / Wing / Harness Fitting. Am I Physically Defective?

    Lots of really good advice above. If you are diving a single tank here's some more advice. Turn the tank valve handle 45 degrees toward you in your BPW/BCD. You may not be able to do this unless you have a turret first stage or your hose arrangement allows this. If you can, the valve will be...

    DIR- GUE Finding teammates after failing fundamentals

    Ah ok I think I misunderstood your post thinking you were still tipping forward and trying to fix it. Yea everyone's different. Jet fins make me foot heavy even in a 7mm no matter how else I trim my shoulder weight so they are reserved for a drysuit only. Tough to trim anything in steel doubles...

    DIR- GUE Finding teammates after failing fundamentals

    Regs and manifold are heavy and that's noticeable when you are only diving a 3mm. Make sure you have a neutral rig because a large roving air bubble in the wing can do weird things. Are you using a steel plate? that could be adding more weight up top. There's also the possibility that you are...

    DIR- GUE Appropriate wing lift capacity for steel doubles?

    I dive LP85s with a Kidex plate and zero lead. 40# wing and drysuit in 50's water. Still back heavy so a few trim pounds in front is useful for trim. Either way, dive a balanced rig first and wing size is less a issue.

    DIR- GUE Finding teammates after failing fundamentals

    There are lots of people with 500-1000 dives who don't pass Fundies. It's a humbling experience even when you do pass. The real question is whether you learned stuff. If you did, that's success. If you want to learn more, try again after practicing. That means just diving and enjoying yourself...

    Are there any tourist caves in Curacao?

    I've been in one but damned if I'd be able to find it again and it's just snorkel worthy.

    Cave class report

    Thanks for the small talk as it bumped the thread. I'd have missed it like swimming past the exit line in the dark. Good read.

    Neck Travel pillow (Airplane rides)

    Regular neck brace. They come in dark colors so they don't look so medical. Cheap and keep your head from flopping while you sleep.

    Should I get DM cert (for fun), or something else?

    Make sure to maintain insurance if you become a dm as you have an increased responsibility for the divers around you

    DIR- GUE Why are non-GUE divers so interested in what GUE does?

    Lots of divers will never want to teach but want to take their diving beyond instructing ow. The more complex those dives become, the more safety and training needs to be built in. It's a path to something else. Those skills can be used in all areas of diving as well as building logically.

    How to earn a GUE Fundamentals Rec Pass

    I dive both and my spg reads bar and psi. I live in the USA but would instantly switch to metric to simplify. It's actually a concession that gue has made in standardization IMO. There are of course many threads on this so off topic but worth considering for any advanced diver. Even in ow you...

    How to earn a GUE Fundamentals Rec Pass

    If you are planning on going beyond fundies you might consider switching to metric as the calculations are quicker when doing them in your head and underwater.

    RMV math…

    I blame ow instructors in the USA for teaching imperial and handing out an imperial spg. ow students can estimate a yard as easy as a foot. Everything else is new to them anyway.

    Galileo Sol Battery Replacement Issue

    12600 batteries for the Galileo are getting rare and pricey. Anybody ever tried stacking two N batteries instead? They are 1.5V each and half the length of a 60mm.
