Hi Stroke I'm very happy to have learnt a new word. Thanks for this adress, I think I'm gonna have a great time. Gert is here and well. See you soon. Hugo. Hello All My name is Hugo, I'm OWSI and currently technical diving instructor at ClubRed in Dahab, Sinai, Egypt. Here we dive in wetsuits all year round, although I admit a dry suit would be more confortable in February-March (the water drops to 21 degrees). And then we also use computers. And enjoy them. I'm sure Sim will find a new name for me. Dahab is far away from the "real world", and information of any kind, specially tech diving, is always welcome. Even Internet on-line is not a solution, as the line is too slow. All info welcome then. On the other hand, diving here being easy and pleasant all year round, I'm in the water everyday, so if you have questions about the area, warm-water deep diving or anything I can answer... Very interested in Trimix computers. Whenever you get the results of that Beta-test... Hugo. -----Original Message----- From: Charles McDonald <Charles_McDonald@co*.co*> To: techdiver <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Date: Saturday, May 15, 1999 3:44 PM Subject: Hello all 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 Diver. Most of my diving has been done in Dahab, Egypt. - Red Sea, but I have done some diving in other tropical places such as the Coral Sea, Solomon Islands, Florida Keys, Sodwana - South Africa, Great Barrier Reef, Bali and 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 (Redundant 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 deep 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 independant doubles) and a drysuit (As well as weights and tanks). So much for that Later Charles -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
