Heya all... Not sure if this should be in the "scandinavia/iceland" forum or not (if so please move, thanks mods). I've just returned from a beautiful 15 day trip to Iceland with my family. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, seeing parts of the west fjords, the north, whale watching, a lot of...

Heya all, Just wanted the joint opinion on the rebreather group on following small incident. If the moderators feel it belongs more in the accidents&incidents forum then please move it there. I posted it here because I feel that it's more on topic in the rebreather forum than there. Case...

GUE CCR1 course with Derk Remmer (and my buddy Johan Wouters) in Croatia/Krnica. Background: I've done my fundies in 2010, and took more courses based on needs and goals (C1 -> T1 -> C2 -> T2 and some dpv in between). From 2016 onwards my tech/wreck diving was mainly diving deep(ish) and long...

Heya all, In April of this year I did a service of my JJ (meaning replacing all batteries, O² sensors, flapper valves, O-rings). After I dived it for about 20 dives (25 hours) doing only recreational stuff. All good. During the last 2 months I haven't done any rebreather dives. Since I've in...

First of all I'm not sure if this needs to be posted in the technical forums or needs to remain in incidents & accidents. It obviously is an incident that might be of some interest but I don't think it necessarily needs to be "peer reviewed" by recreational divers who might make wrong...

First of all I can 't publish the PDF (which has all the pictures included). so this will be only the written text. If any is interested in the full document, please send me an email and I'll send you the file. Portofino: Thursday 14 June 2016 DAY 3 of the T2 course and 2nd Trimix dive of...

Hi all, I have the opportunity to take a T2 class spring 2016, but for the first time in my tech diving / GUE career I’m having 2nd thoughts. To be totally honest the fact that my wife will take fundies in the next months is boosting my enthusiasm much more than the opportunity to take...

TECH1 or how TEAM TIGER TURNED DIG-HEAD QUE CAZZO!!!! Literally YOU DICKHEADS (Thank you Roberta Dezi for the translation) Below is not a factual report of our Tech 1 course, taken in Croatia (Krnica Diving) with Mario Arena as instructor. There is some artistic license involved. Not when...

I'm a bit in dubio about depth at which open water tests are taken in my diving organisation. So I would like to know at which depths open water tests are taken for your organisation. Certification level Rescuediver, Divemaster, Assistant Instructor. Are all open water tests for all...

Just saw the following on youtube. YouTube - Diving Accident Potential For A Bad Outcome Bahamas 12/12/08 It's a small film life about a guy seeying two divers (one 12 year old) without any experience lingering at depth pre-occupied with their camera. He luckely goes out to check them...

Hi Guys, I've been lurking on this board for some time digesting the info present about Cozumel. Still I have some questions about general cozumel diving. Some general background: Both me and my girlfriend will be diving, we are regular divers (she has +150 dives, me look at my profile)...

Just back from a week long cruise on the M/V Tala. Dived with a dolphin pod on the check dive so that set the mood for the rest of the week diving. We stayed 4 days on the brothers, and dove both Numidia, Aida wrecks and of course alot of times both north and south points of both big and...

A couple of days ago during a wreckdive on a North Sea wreck both me and my buddy got entangled, this has for obvious reasons shaken me a bit and I would like to share. The context is as follows: I'm a intermediate diver with about 180 dives (all kinds of circumstances, cold, low vis, deep...

I stupidly dropped my G250v 2nd stage while equiping. It fell straight on the cracking pressure valve and that one is now bend. I can still screw/unscrew it. Should this affect the regulator? I'll probably go in to the LSD to maybe replace the valve but just want some opinions...

Hi guys... I recently bought myself a 2nd regulator set. Since I dive cold water I chose the Scubapro MK17 / G250V setup. I asked to interchange the regulator hose with a longhose (5 feet). The shopowner told me that this is not a good idea. Because the volume of the longhose is larger then a...

I started diving in february and have now logged 30 dives. Last thursday morning I was sitting in my car waiting for some divebuddies to show up. Nothing very special only it was 2 AM and raining cats and dogs. We met so early because high tide was at 4:30 AM and we needed to dive 'on' the tide...

Hi Guys, I would like your advice or just general hints and recommendations on the following equipment. Just to give a setting, I have dived for 4 years about 12 years ago and started training again 4 months ago. First dives are under my belt. I live in Belgium and will dive year around (so...
