Not terribly new here, (been lurking for a while) but thought I
should introduce myself. I have been certified for 3 years
and have done most of my diving in the waters around Ohio
(quarries and Great Lakes) while I was doing my Master's.
I am now back in Raleigh, North Carolina and looking forward to
hitting the wrecks off the coast (in addition to warmer waters) :-)
Wreck diving (beyond the 'sport' limits) is my main motivation
in learning more about techincal diving (plus I just HAD to go see
the pretty monsters at 131 feet :-) ) I'm very open to any suggestions
on good wreck penetration courses. As the North Carolina wrecks are
not exactly shallow, I'm also curious if I can expect a course with
localized 'flavor' to these types of wrecks to cover the deco diving
which may/not be needed (at a minimum for contingency plans), or if I
should expect to pursue that separately.
Secondly, is there a good paper/reference comparing the various tables
(Navy, PADI, DCIEM, etc..)? I am not looking for an incredibly
in depth (complex) comparison (yet...), but would like to
see an (objective) comparison of things like "table A is more highly
regarded for xyz type of diving, but has shortcomings in abc type of
diving, etc.."
Finally, I would like to know if there was any more discussion about
fatigue after diving as a mild form of DCS. This was brought up last
summer, I believe, but my school acct expired and I was not able to
follow it up.
Many thanks,
Mike
PS. I've had several people here take the time to xerox and mail me
papers, etc, just like to say thanks.
