DAN Exam Passed... Should I???

by Paul Smart on January 04, 2014

Ok... so I recently did the "Ears and Diving" Exam from DAN.

Passed with 100%, very pleased, and got a certificate to print.

Now the certificate is A5. So my question is... should I put the certificate into my logbook? Or am I just being a dick?

Thanks

Muscle Cramps

by Ace Manev on December 02, 2013

This usually happens to me when diving in temperate water, my back leg calf's get muscle cramps, and it's not pleasant. I drink plenty of fluids before each dive and after 30 plus minutes in the water my calf muscles begins to cramp up. Does anyone have similar problem and have any helpful tips on how to reduce muscle cramps whilst diving.

Old ScubaPro console gauge boot

by Hdmarylee on September 28, 2013

I have an old ScubaPro console and recently lost a boot and depth gauge. I have a new gauge but when I took it to the local dive shop they said they cannot order this piece any longer. He suggested I contact this group. The gauge fits perfectly and is a ScubaPro gauge, I just need the boot to keep the gauge secure. He suggested duct tape and I didn't think that was a very good option. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any serious suggestions.

Question: High Altitude Diving (Well Almost)

by Paul Smart on August 18, 2013

Ok, so locally to me is a great reservoir.

I was just wondering if it would be possible to dive in it (as it's so local).

Of course... would there be anything to see? What would the visibility be like? How cold would it get?

My only other question is... The reservoir is located at 900ft above sea-level. So do special dive tables come into consideration before 1000ft?

I understand that this maybe a pointless set of questions, but I'm new at this so help and advice always appreciated!

PADI:OW Theory Three : Completed

by Paul Smart on August 14, 2013

Back from tonights PADI OW theory Part Three!

This was all about the dive environment and helping yourself and other divers when in trouble.

Was all good. Another 10/10 for the quiz and thanks to a bit of assistance from Mrs. S I managed to get up to speed after a very busy week!

I decided that I definitely want to do my OWA and then go onto be a Rescue Diver.

I understand that Rescue Diver is a pretty difficult but highly rewarding qualification, but has anyone here got the RD rating and could you share your experience please?
