And so it begins

AN and DP eLearning is completed, working on helitrox now.

Plan is to complete these 3 over the next few months to get the introduction to helium gas changes etc done. Do "shallow" deco dives to reinforce skills etc over the next few years while I save for the CCR.

Not sure how far I'm going long term yet that will remain to be seen, after all 14 years ago if you would have told me I was doing this I would have called you crazy.

Good luck!

I said hell no to cave and CCR. Look where I am now!

6 months ago I said he'll no to CCR. Now I'm saving for one.

I told my wife when I first started diving that I was ONLY looking at doing wreck diving, had zero interest in caves and would never touch a CCR (death machine). Now I am full cave CCR and no longer make statements of what I will never do.

Now I ...... no longer make statements of what I will never do.

To all CCR folks - we ought to start calling CCRs boxes of life or life machines. Otherwise, what reaction do we expect?

But then how would I convey what my wife was thinking if I called it a "life machine" because that is not what she thought it was. When I started thinking CCR a few years ago is when we had a few deaths back to back on CCRs.
