Hi! I subscribed a couple of days ago and just wanted to introduce myself. I've been diving for 2 years in California, PADI OW Adv., with approx 120 dives, and my dive buddy/significant other is PADI Rescue, diving for 5 years with approx. 350 dives. Besides taking the rescue course (probably next year) and a couple of PADI specialty courses, I wanted to start learning about what is available in the tech diving area so when I feel I'm ready to start taking more difficult classes I'll have a better idea which direction to go in. I've found it difficult to get tech diving information. We dive on the regular charter dive boats, which don't seem to have many trips for the tech diving community, or any that I could find (?) I've found this tech group *very enlightening* so far . . . even the flames - :-) - or should I reply :-( . . . and I'm also learning a lot from the tech diver web site. I hope I'm not being naive, but I'm interested in learning more about decompression diving. We don't really have any desire to dive below 130 ft at this time (we dive in wetsuits and at times get cold long before our air supply or *no decompression time limit* dictates that we head back to the boat, and it can get pretty cold 100 ft and below). But if we wanted to extend our bottom time around 110 ft, I would like to know what I'm doing and plan for it. My computer, a Phoenix, will handle decompression diving at my level, but I would like the theory behind what my computer would be telling me to do. Can anyone recommend where we can get training in the Los Angeles area? And any good books? Also, we are planning to go to Key West next year and I understand that the Florida area is where there's great training. Any recommendations? Thanks! - Christy Corson <christyc@pr*.co*>
