Scuba anyone?

[chrisjohnnick]

I’m thinking of fulfilling a lifelong dream and getting into scuba diving this coming year. There are surprisingly a lot of places in and around Nashville to get certified and to dive.

[chrisjohnnick]

I’m a complete noob, but I do have experience using SCBA in my previous short lived career as a firefighter.

100% do it.

Getting the tech charged.....

[Giles]

I absolutely love this dive computer...

It's hands down the most easy to use, intuitive I have owned....

@Giles damn right!
I’m changing my sunto EON core to https://shearwater.com/products/perdix-2-x-swift-combo
I’m fucking tired of pointless alarms.

First dive on Thistlegorm complete. Waiting for the sun to go down to do night dive there. The current is punishing…

[Giles]

Yeah, I had an EON Core (and Paula still does). But it fucked me way too many times by locking me out for minor transgressions that I did not notice. And the tank pod was fucking useless. I was chatting to a Divemaster on a recent trip, and she has an EON, but whenever she did a "proper" dive, she borrowed her boyfriends Shearwater.

And great choice of the Perdix - too tech for my needs (not that that usually stops me )

Didn't want to pee in your wetsuit?

[Karol]

@Giles there are two types of wetsuit divers - those that piss themselves in the wetsuit and others that don’t admit to it.

… but no, not yet on this safari.

[Giles]

I piss in mine, why the fuck not?

It's the same with boat owners, those who have crashed and those that lie....

I had a dry suit before buying neoprene and that must engrave in me the discipline.
Nowadays I’m thinking about installing the p-valve in my santi.
