hoff Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I did it in a swimming pool in Hooton once. I would love to do it properly out in reefs etc, watching nature programmes with divers makes me feel a little jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Size Me Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Used to be a HSE part 1 Commercial Diver, not been diving in a few years now also did my BSAC quals when I was late teens (which led into the commercial as i loved it) keep thinking of getting back into it as I miss "the oggin". Have dived all around the UK wether sport diving or commercial. The one place I don't recommend is the thames !

Gaz6002 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I've got a PADI open water license, but I doubt that's quite up to the level of the rest of you Still, it's one of my favourite things to do. Fantastic hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I've done my PADI Open Water and my Advanced, unfortunately I've not been diving for a couple of years though The last time was in Egypt which was OK, got to see 4 Hammerheads on a wreck dive which was something special, but not a patch on the Maldives, which is where I would be off to this year if I had the money free.

pedrosixfour Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 PADI open water Only ever dived on holidays, Cyprus, Africa and Mexico, after 3 days spent in the horrors, fucking ice cubes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Persier is only in about 20-25 metres of water isn't she?? how did she end up in a chamber?? Not too sure mate with regards to depth. Got a solid 28m on my vytec? Basically she was doing a mid water deployment of a DSMB. During the process she knocked her DV out of her mouth. She was not fussed and went to put it back in. Unfortuantely her buddy thought she needed assistance and jammed the thing in her mouth while purging it. In the process she took a lung full of water and lost control of her bouyancy through coughing and probably a bit of panic. She came up from 20+ meters, missing all her deco. I stuck her on O2 on surfacing and called the coast guard. She displayed no signs of decompression illness, but we stuck her in the pot for good measure. Scary stuff to be honest!! Makes you appreciate how vlnerable you can be when diving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
