Hi Andy, really interested in SCRs , Mares horizon, although I am advanced level diver only with more than 120 dives. Is it possible to book a test dive with The ROHO for testing the Mares Horizon ? I am Flying to Newcastle, and to South Shields next month mid.

Thanks for sharing, diving in Malta once, very similar situation, nothing that obvs from dive about 6 did pretty much same profile but a girl got bent, turns out she had a really hot shower.... When u said u got in car turned heaters up yo max etc... I thought ummmn could that have done it? 🤔 If you were fully clothed but still cold enough to have to get all the heating on maybe you raised body temp too quickly and a nitro bubble expanded too quickly as a result? Any what a scary thing glad u got through it...

I would just like to say your pretty spot on I started my BSAC at Christmas times and had booked a holiday to Egypt I thought I'd be able to complete it before going away and be able to dive in Egypt needless to say the club route for open water is rather slow so when I eventually arrived in Egypt without having completed my open water I paid a PADI center while on holiday to get certified and have since started my sports diver no holiday booked this time as I have a better idea of just how long it will take had BSAC had a partner center last year I would have probably booked my holiday there instead of sharm

Best mask ever I have two mask the frameless synergy 2 from scubapro and the vx2 n I like more vx2 more then anything so it’s a 💩 review and let me telling u in ur 👂 the synergy 2 best then any mask u touch it before

Hi, thanks for the video. One question.... what's your conclusion after 2 years of use with Backscatter Macro Wide 4300? Is lumens power enough for underwater video with small camera like GoPro or TG7?

That’s a VERY grey room.

Did the Tiger shark dive at Gan and fuvamullah, it's an amazing experience, indeed.

Greetings, great video, lovely experience. Just wanted to know what's that HUD , mounted over your mouth peice? Is it a dive computer ?

I use Xdeep EX1.

Great video

I’m diving RK3 HD. How do these compare to the HD ? Something lighter would be great for travel, we’re doing a liveaboard and have paid for extra weight to make sure we can get all the necessities in with the RK3’s included 🤣

bro got extra jackets

Andy, really pleased that your outcome was good. Death or long term paralysis really put's a crimp in SCUBA diving. Years back I was on a course (nothing to do with diving) and a comment the instructor made was (something like) 'Disaster planning is so difficult because a disaster is what happens when the situation exceeds the plan' - In other words, with diving, you dive as safely as you can but human physiology (for each of us, as an individual and virtually moment by moment) is variable. So the dive that you might do safely tomorrow, can gove you the bends today. LIFE: It's not about avoiding risks, you can't, it's about minimizing them. That's the best that any of us can do.

Nice one mate , it’s simple as that

Thanks for posting...

My mate has ordered one today as a primary, wish he'd seen this first Andy. Good review.

How do you prep a UV lens ?

8:49 holy Christmas tree diver haha my sensory issues would be freaking out that is way too much Shit clipped off for me personally glad it works for y’all…. also interesting way to sling a tank with that 2in webbing or whatever that is cheers safe diving.

Ur review Not fair not fair at all bro . vx2 is an awesome mask if u dont like coz of ur nose or the volume space or u like single lens go to old version the vx1 he is more beautiful then those two masks bty to be lil bit fair look to the matrial look how this mask build bty um gone make order vx2 even without measuring it n bty now his price is 108 -125 euro n that’s fair enough

I've got Hollis bat fins, rk3 and seawing supernova gorilla for travel. I can't get a good fit on my rk3 so they don't get much water time. My Hollis are absolutely the go to for power but they are a bit heavy for warm water diving or travel. Seawing is good for travel. Those tecline look like something I should try for weight and power. Thanks for the video

Much ado around about nothing. THere's a pouch in the bag that you can put additional items. Personal choice for where the switch is. Freedive spearfishermen prefer lanyards. Hunting in large caves it's better to use a wide spread light.

Great tip. I have steel HP and aluminium LP tanks and instead of using the converter yoke which I don't care for, I just change between yoke and din. It really is quite simple as you demonstrated.

Are the foot pockets on Techlight bigger than the RK3’s when comparing the same size? Thx

I like the torch and the LEDs around the button.

Thanks for sharing Bud. Great description. Scary thoughts about how the body has reacted to this situation. 🤝👍✊ Full watch and listen.

for me it well be blue

Did this trip on the Superior Dec 23, sent my regards to George. Love the Barge, though it did seem very popular with a few other boats. Looking forward to Southern Solitude trip next month on the MV 7 Seas.

Thanks very much. Saved me small fortune

Hi Andy, thanks for the great video, particularly the part about using the ball to hold the spanner in place because mine was a pig to undo as well! Just one question - do you know if the black plastic part between the adapter and the body be tight between the two? I changed my DS4 stage reg and everything works great but this separator is very slightly loose.

I bought one for a backup torch

Been here as well! Great folks, great diving! Love this place!!

Hi, unfortunately I missed the live Q&A: Glad you're recovered now! You mentioned that you use Nitrox for deeper dives in Malta, but at the sorts of depths you were at in Capernwray you could have used a fairly high mix of Nitrox which would be ideal for the long relatively shallow dives that you were making. Do you think Nitrox would have made any difference? Was there any reason you didn't use it?

I am booked in for the PFO closing for May so it’s taking approximately 5 months to do on nhs :-)

Hi Andy it would not let me comment

Glad you made a good recovery. I got cns dci end of August this year. Headache, double vision, balance all over the place. 2 weeks daily at Rugby and another 2 weeks for symptoms to settle. Sadly most likely due to a PFO so knocked the diving on the head.

Hello

Wish I'd had all this fantastic detail and information before i first dived this in 1982. The lifeboat still had it's prop then.😮

At 39:40 you say you were breathing 100% O2 at 18 metres and from that you calculate it was ppO2 of 18.... MATE BACK TO THE POT WITH YA!

Good to see you back on the mend Andy.

Clicked. Thanks for the great review.

it should be noted that an air conditioner will remove moisture from the air so the humidity in a building with air conditioning will be much lower than the humidity outside

Thanks for sharing, guys. The BHA flowchart confirms 999 first, then phone a dive doctor / NDA Helpline. Finding your location: If you have data on your phone, you phone map will tell you what road you are on (avoiding ‘I think I’m on the M62’) If you have a iPhone, (regardless of whether you have data) the compass app will also give you your co-ordinates. If you must stop on a motorway, TRY to stop near an emergency phone. When you use that, emergency services will know where you are. They are every mile or so on motorways, so worst case you’ll have half a mile to walk. The recommendation is that you use these in preference to a mobile phone because the emergency services know where they are. But, motorways are dangerous places - and for a variety of reasons, going for a walk might not be a good idea - you need to assess the risks and do what is safest at the time. On motorways and major trunk roads, there are ‘marker posts’ every 100 meters. Often small blue or green posts with a 3or 4 digit number and sometimes a letter on them. They’ll pinpoint your location to the emergency services. Marker posts also have an arrow pointing to the nearest emergency phone.

Thanks for sharing you story, hope you recover completely! If you want to research the "eye flickering" by yourself, the medical term is "nystagmus". Sadly, Woody of the DiveTalk channel also recently sufferd DCI and DAN was actually quite unhelpful. Check our DiveTalks report, it's a little bit frightening, to say the least.

Decompression theory is all about probability- eg if it’s a 1 in 100 dive probability of developing DCS, you’re bent in 1 of 100 dives… it’s a question of when, not if. The only way we can mitigate risk is being conservative re time, age, fitness, body composition etc etc

Very crazy story! It really shows the value of having someone with you to act as your advocate... unless you really didn't want your gall bladder. Glad to hear you are doing well!

Thanks for sharing Andy. 100% oxygen at 18m is a ppO2 of 2.8 not 18

Glad to hear you've made a full recovery Andy. In the spirit of this being a learning exercise I think the biggest mistake was not the chamber numbers but the lack of an Oxygen set amongst the diving party. It seems like it was almost 2 hours from the onset of symptoms before O2 was started when the ambulance arrived. What's the point of being a trained oxygen administrator and not having any oxygen! Even though a standard 3 litre set may not last that long it's got to be better than nothing.

Very interesting. Personally I think because as you said it was about 2 hrs after the dive you must of thought it was something else . Now if that happen say after a shore dive you would have called the coast guard. If a crew arrived to you in ambulance at the side of the road they wouldn’t know any better. Unless myself thinking shit he’s been diving. Hopefully the ED will do a reflective, and learn from your incident Any way some very good points luckily in my area forth valley don’t get any bent divers . But glad you are on the count down to diving again Andy 👍

Andy, glad your recovered/on the mend. I will definitely share a link to my dive club in the hope your experience will advise them should a similar thing happen to them. Safe diving.
