Diving with DIR (UTD)

That's ME (Elena Konstantinou) trying to manage multiple stages whilst keeping bouyant. After I watched this video I agreed I really was not ready to dive the Maiden wreck that's 120 meters deep. I hope you can clearly see ""why". This video has no intention "to pick up"on the dive training organizations nor it has a purpose to somehow undermine the UTD's or any other dive training agencies reputation.

how many hours of diving did u get before going for tec?

[overseasmedia]

@TheShaggedelic Well, actually I have been diving since 2000 (PADI rescue diver) was certified as TDI Andvanced nitrox&deco procedures tech diver since 2004. Certified as TDI advanced tmx diver in 2005, GUE fundamentals in 2007, GUE tech 1 diver since 2009. All together I think I have over 1500 dives.

lol that was a mess.

hope you've improved :D

@aorr so think before you assume that others dont understand ahwt they are talking about .

we do that sort of diving (80+ meters ) over here in a regular basis, in fact i cant remember the last dive i did to less than 40meters.

But hey only my .02

however i like the fact that my trimix bill per dive is around 10$ :-)

not 600$ is it would be OC :-)

@aorr slowly slowly buddy - a) my comment is valid - and b) yes i do know what a bailout cylinder is.

I do dive a homebuild eCCR as well as mCCR and hCCR. On a dive as descriped in this videoa I would use the follwoing bailouts - a) off-board dil 11 ltr 10/60 tmx - thsi would provide dil as well as deep bailout, b) travle bailtout - probable a 15/50 tmx 11ltr c) shallow bailout Nx 55 7 ltr.

A rebreather incl. 3 tnks for bailout is majorly less stuff than 10 or so odd tanks for an OC rig.

looks very hard to do.....

[aorr]

@divelermentov Errrrr, your comment is quite invalid. Ever heard of bail-out cylinders?

[divelermentov]

thats why man invented rebreathers

come cosa c entra l idrodinamica di una gonfigurazione ben ordinata?? se ti porti appresso un cestello di bombole solo da un lato e appese cosi a casaccio e chiaro che i flussi d acqua faranno il loro lavoro riperquotendosi dove c e resistenza crea turbolenze a un attrito diverso cosi da far muovere il sub in modo non lineare ma sotto sforzo e con una grave resistenza laterale,mi piacerebbe vedere come risolverebbe un emerg magari a 120 mt scegliere la bail out in mezzo ad altre 5 tutte uguali

lol, the guy in training definitely needs much more training :-)))

[ZeroCento100]

Esiste una procedura ben definita per il passaggio delle bottiglie.

Mi sembra evidente , e per stessa ammissione della Elena, che qui, al contrario, ci sono tanti problemi da risolvere.

Cosa ci azzecca la famosa idrodinamicità non lo capisco sinceramente.

Il video in questione può essere inteso, solo ed esclusivamente, del come NON si procede su utilizzo e posizionamento delle stage.

Non è un video didattico ( di alcuna didattica ) e tanto meno un video dimostrativo di qualcosa di ben fatto.

[TheFabiomansella]

ma non c e un senso di progressione di utilizzo nel posionarle?? o l importante e aggrapparsi sto grappolone in qualche modo?? e la famosa idrodinamicita tanto ricercata nei corsiprecedento dove va afinire?? non vi capisco mi spiace

sometimes i feel "1" bottle too heavy and too bulky, as diving under 30 meter sotimes is just darker, colder and more dangerous. my respect ^^
