Subject: Cave training, FFM:s etc
Hi all techdivers!


I have a few stupid(?) questions for you:

1) Where can I get cave training? In Sweden there's no such things as
NACD or NSS/CDS so I suppose I need to go to the US. As far as I know one
has to start with 'Intro Cave'. I'd like to know more details, costs and
where to get trained.

2) Could you clarify what the #&% a 'Stroke' is. I have an idea, but
this is a new one for me.

3) In Sweden we commonly fill our tanks to 300bar. Any problems with that
pressure when mixing gas with high PO2:s?

4) I understand that techdivers tend to use FFM:s during deco stops on O2.
Our dive team use AGA FFM:s with Buddy Phone comm. system and we really
would like to use them during the entire dive, but then there's the problem
with switching to another mix... Is that the reason that FFM:s aren't used
during the entire dive? Are there any solutions?

And don't flame my ass for my ignorance.

Last, if anyone is interested in diving wrecks ranging from wooden ships to
subs and steamers sunk during WWII in the Baltic Sea then your welcome!
