I am takeing advanced nitrox and deco theory in sept. No this list is not my only source but Being that there are not a lot of DIR instructores in this area I bounce other ideas I have spoken with people about off the list for honest input. In fact in my area most dive shope are TDI. I already know how most people feel about TDI. I am looking at trimix next summer if I can afford to assemble the apropriate gear and practice with the gear before the end of next summer. I was looking at using independants on a 115-140(at the deepest) foot dive using nitrox. And well I have not adapted the long hose setup yet so I pass a short hose in any event. I also already have 2 spg so it is not a cost. I am looking into re rigging and diving with a long hose. I am currently set up with a primary, secondary, octo and spg on each rig. Which I thought would be a little messy in an independant set up. I started thinking about an independent setup from an Naui and IANTD instructor suggested it as an option for the dive I mentioned above. I have been patiently looking on ebay for a descent used manifold but I haven't ran across a good deal yet. I do see their are more drawbacks than I had originally thought about. As far as do i use this list for my soul tech diving advice NO but I like to take in all the info and opinions I have acess to. But I also relise opinions are like asshole, everybody has one. SO you have to sort through ands take some with a grain of salt. Again for those that want to through flames I already understand that independants aren;t the best way to acomplish a dive. But I was recongnising the fact the iso's arent the only way. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
