  • cool

    

  • @titsgalore48 yes thats a good policy, however with experience you learn things go wrong an how to deal with them. All drysuit divers will get a leak at some point and dont usually notice till they are in the water, most will also continue the dive - albeit with a shorter run time perhaps.

    On this dive there is comunications between diver and air pumpers via an intercome in the helmet and a safety rope around me run out by another surface cover member. The video operator is fully rescue qual

  • @ButtsontheBarbie i concurr

  • @Nitrox326 look..i wasnt trying to offend you or nothing i am getting my certification now and i was just told that you should never dive without everything being planned to a T and never dive without 100% operational dive gear...so

  • @titsgalore48 I have been diving all around the UK coast for over 20 years and i'm quite familiar with safe diving practices, i'm also a realist on whats essential and whats desirable.

    I also dive solo, dive in shipping lanes, penetrate wrecks and use air/nitrox to 50m all of which are perfectly safe or suicidal depending on your perspective.

  • @Nitrox326 hes not being that big of a dick..it is bad dive practice going under without 100% operational gear

  • What are all those bubbles coming from the left sleeve? You musta got soaked.

  • None. Well you have unlimited air since its fed to you from above the water, but you are restricted in movements due to the weight or the thing, and being tethered by the air hose.

  • hey, so whats the advantage of this huge heavy suit vs a normal wetsuit and oxygen tank?
