Deep 6 Outfitters live service clinic in the GTA... who's in?

[Dogbowl]

I can’t agree more! Excellent class! Thanks @cerich and all the other participants for a great experience!

 

[Bierstadt]

Wonderful class, great people! And @Eptel (and his regs) definitely kept things interesting!

 

[covesia]

Impressive class, great instructor

It was a pleasure meeting you all today! After covering everything from gas blending to military maneuvers to even a bit on regulator maintenance, I think we would be hard pressed to find someone who didn't take a ton from this - an immense thank you to Chris for the day! (But, I'm not going to thank you when I start buying tools to do this myself... well, maybe after I make back my investment in savings on services, but I'm still going to harbour at least a short-term grudge...)

And while I appreciate the acknowledgement, @shoredivr, I think the thanks goes to the collective 'you' for putting your names forward and committing - without all of your support, I wouldn't have had anything to push! And to @Dogbowl for the idea to begin with! (And, thanks to @abnfrog for pushing this from behind the scenes!) You all rock!

For those of you who took some photos during the event and care to share... I know I'd definitely be interested in seeing some of them...

... well, maybe not the one with the crowd staring at Chris's orifice pictures...

And, for @cerich's benefit, maybe we should jot down some of the suggestions made in the class? (I'm sure I forget at least half the stuff I mean to remember...) Off the top of my head...

• Pure orange wetsuit (sorry, couldn't resist)
• Color-coded o-rings
• Re-uploading the manual to the Deep 6 website
• BETTER DIAGRAMS (maybe have some higher-quality images separate from the manual?)
• ... I probably shouldn't have waited until 1.30 AM to start this list...

A small update - the manual is already there, look in the footer for the link, or use this https://www.deep6gear.com/deep_six_reg_manual_v1.pdf

[Eptel]

Thanks a lot to everyone and especially to @cerich for making it happen. It was a great mix of participants with some advanced, intermediate and total newbie (like myself) knowledge. I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot.
Now I know first hand what to look for and what to do if my 2nd stage ever floods again .

I've only just learned of this now and I'm pretty bummed I missed out. Maybe we could do this again sometime?
