*************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** *********** IMPORTANT FOR THE NEWER DIVER : PLEASE READ *********** *********** *********** *********** THIS IS THE TECHDIVER FORUM *********** *********** *********** *********** As you should have read upon subscribing, this *********** *********** is the Technical forum, where more advanced *********** *********** topics, such as DEEP, MIX, and NITROX are *********** *********** discussed, along with things like diver *********** *********** physiology for the DEEP diver. *********** *********** These discussions are not intended to be viewed *********** *********** by the inexperienced, as this is a forum for *********** *********** more advanced divers, BUT, you are always free *********** *********** to read on. If your posts are of RECREATIONAL *********** *********** diving nature, please don't post them publicly *********** *********** here, but contact someone by their direct *********** *********** e-mail address. If you have technical *********** *********** questions, then this is the perfect place to *********** *********** ask them. *********** *********** Please understand, as was written in your *********** *********** subscription reply, that this forum is NOT a *********** *********** substitute for proper training, and advice and *********** *********** ideas presented here MAY OR MAY NOT BE both *********** *********** safe, or accurate. ALL advice given is simply *********** *********** an opinion, which if used, could cause injury. *********** *********** *********** *********** Technical diving is a demanding area...it *********** *********** requires commitment, knowledge, equipment, *********** *********** health, and mental attitude that are much *********** *********** greater than recreation diving requires. While *********** *********** some concepts may seem easy, be assured many *********** *********** are not so easy. Please secure the knowledge *********** *********** before attempting the dive. Also, by seeking *********** *********** technical training, you will also be better *********** *********** prepared to understand the topics presented in *********** *********** this forum. *********** *********** *********** *********** Remember, ONLY YOU, are responsible for YOU. *********** *********** If you wish to "push the envelope", you must *********** *********** first learn HOW to push, then must push it *********** *********** very slowly.

Advice for you would be to begin by *********** *********** taking a NITROX course. This will show you *********** *********** some of the advanced understanding that is *********** *********** required of technical diving. Be assured, it *********** *********** gets even harder from there. *********** *********** *********** *********** If you are one of the many who wish only for *********** *********** recreational diving, check out the many SCUBA *********** *********** forums for recreational divers, such as *********** *********** rec.scuba. There is much for you there. *********** *********** *********** *********** Dive Safe......Dive Often....Dive Responsibly *********** *********** *********** *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** So, do you think that maybe this is needed up once each 2 wks or so? Le me know directly....if many people say "YES", let's edit this and repost it. (I just threw it together in 10 minutes) Tim Olson - Always have those crazy ideas
