Hello All

I am new to the list (lurking for 1 day) and a relative newcomer to
technical diving.

Just as a bit of background. I am a PADI OWSI and TDI Extended Range Dive=
r.

Most of my diving has been done in Dahab, Egypt. - Red Sea, but I have do=
ne
some diving in other tropical places such as the Coral Sea, Solomon
Islands, Florida Keys, Sodwana - South Africa, Great Barrier Reef, Bali a=
nd
Sulawesie (Indonesia) and finally, one dive in the Med off the coast of
France. =


I currently live in England but have yet to do some dives here. I have
dived in some of the quarries / pits they use  for training but would not=

really classify them as dives. I have joined a BSAC club and intend to do=

some serious diving once I have purchased a drysuit.

I have about 330 dives, of which perhaps 15 are proper ER dives (Redundan=
t
gear etc.)

I have a great deal of deep diving experiance (50m +) but most of it was
done with the standard rec gear. Stupid huh? Anyway, a close call in a de=
ep
overhead environment convinced my that I should do the training. It was
also fortunate that the club I dive with in Dahab has now included TDI
training which was where I did mine.

My equipment includes =

Dive Rite Transpac II + Superwings (Jr Wings for single tank dives),
Spiro Arctic Reg
Forcefins
Uwatec Alladin Air X Nitrox

I need to purchase a reg to feed over the left shoulder (I use independan=
t
doubles) and a drysuit (As well as weights and tanks).

So much for that

Later
  Charles
