Hi guys,
Just venting out from todays experience. I do a lot of diving here in the philippines and its mostly affordable. I choose a new operator on malapascua island to get some more hours on the double tank rig while my girlfriend dives a single tank.
Our two dives today were tricked short by two different dive masters. They are running a deep-ish profile for most part of the dive then "run out of ndl" and force the safety stop. Our first dive was 52min and our second was 49. My gf and the other diver came up with 110/120 bars.
I feel that most of the people on the boat did not care and everybody was happy while I feel a little let down. I am used to smaller operation who adjust the dive time to the divers air consumption. In my opinion, a dive should be a minimum of 60min or 50bars. We typicaly do 75-80min.
Thanks for reading my rant.
