Formosa Diving @Palau

can be found on amazon over blu-ray version and i think it worth every singly dime..!…

This little video is really astonishing ..
It’s fiction, and things in the water aren’t like this at all…

YET, it was shot on a single breath… that alone is worth watching and admiring…!

A message for our divers :  NEVER HOLD your BREATH underwater.. A serious injury is guaranteed if you would…!

This is a free diving illustration,  where breath holding is part of the “game”…

Here’s a brief look at the fun we had …

Most of you probably still have places to improve when it comes to
motion and buoyancy in the water.As they say, practice makes perfect
and indeed it takes some practice.However, i found an article in a dive magazine (please don’t press
charges ), that summarize the main point of
gaining that buoyancy……

This article in the idle world, should be no news to those who
received dive training, but in the real world, a lot of divers have
never heard those things.

In any case, it’s always good to review those aspects and try
to apply them next time you hit the water..read carefully and feel
free to ask me anything or to leave and comments.
enjoy your hovering …

I recently completed my Technical Diving course .  I was certified as a Trimix diver  and I  would like to share some photos and  thoughts about it.

In general, technical (tech) diving, differs from recreational diving (which we often call scuba diving), by the fact there’s always a ceiling on the head, and a direct ascent to the surface is not allowed/possible.

This ceiling can be a “hard” ceiling such as cave diving, or wreck diving, or a “soft” ceiling due to a dive that exceed the NDL (No decompression limit) due to deep dives or very long dives.

Since the dives are often very deep and long, mandatory decompression stops are required on the way to the surface, and if such wouldn’t be done, the diver is in a great risk of having the DSC (decompression sickness).

This is a complete different discipline compare with scuba diving, as in the later one, a direct ascent to the surface is always an option (of course no faster that 9 meters/30 feet per minute!).

In order to commit such a complex dive, one should receive good training and gear up with equipment that would allow

such dive (enough gas, back up gas, big capacity floating device, lifting bag, torch, reel and so on…).

Ω Wiki Ω link  where you can a little bit of info about tech diving.

(you are all more than welcome to post a comment and questions here and i will get back to you with more info..)

Manta Ray for you those of you that haven’t seen it yet, is one of the most elegant creatures of the sea..

Pictures- Similan islands

The visibility wasn’t that good that day due to a storm, but still decent pictures.

Enjoy….
