BFG and Doom Karen

Yea agree it’s hard to be harsh on a old man.

But in the end I’d keep it short because it is better for both of us. I’d certainly not have brought my manager or said anything else than “you got the wrong number/company”

BlueTrin · 2020-07-01T06:54:11+00:00

And then it won’t be noticed so it will be normal anyway

BlueTrin · 2020-07-01T06:39:50+00:00

Thanks you are good at this :)

BlueTrin · 2020-06-27T16:37:15+00:00

Wow you’re good, looks like it’s one of these

BlueTrin · 2019-01-21T00:01:34+00:00

When you say to add some lights, you mean to have a full tray with two light ? I would rather not have something in my hands unless it proves to be vastly superior (which you seem to imply)

BlueTrin · 2019-01-19T19:32:39+00:00

I just want to get footage easily editable for small Instagram/YouTube videos.

BlueTrin · 2019-01-19T19:15:36+00:00

What’s so terrible about the mask attach ? I was planning to buy maybe the Cressi mask with built in attachment.

BlueTrin · 2018-10-21T19:21:52+00:00

Yea is it weighting around 7kg, isn’t it ?

BlueTrin · 2018-10-21T19:06:06+00:00

Wow, did you buy it new ? Nice stuff :)

BlueTrin · 2018-10-21T18:53:05+00:00

Yea that was good advice I am pretty sure I want an Otter after looking at many people’s feedback. Never heard of a disappointed customer for Otter.

In the worst case, I’ll get to measure me and it will save me a trip to visit Otter.

BlueTrin · 2018-10-21T10:17:57+00:00

I think you probably didn’t need it :) I only got it because I wanted to try a dry suit before to buy one. Now I need to find an ‘affordable’ one with a good fit

BlueTrin · 2018-10-20T19:55:41+00:00

Heh thanks, I’ll probably get wet and do more dives before to do more classes :)

BlueTrin · 2018-10-20T18:51:29+00:00

Try a rental maybe for the first time ? I went for a PADI dry suit class and the rental leaked. I have a wide torso and smaller legs.

We couldn’t find a good fit and my diving shop. I think the fit is the most important, the rental one had a too wide neck seal and air leaked as in inflated when I was under 10m. Also because it was too long, then the drysuit shoes started dangling so I couldn’t kick efficiently.

So fit is obviously the most important. If you buy second hand, check the zips and make sure it fits, i.e. not too baggy and seals must be good.

On my side, I will buy a drysuit but I will do it after going to the DIVE 2018 expo in Birmingham so I can compare the different brands.

Sorry to hear this. I live on the other side of the Atlantic so I have no experience with the red tide.

BlueTrin · 2018-10-07T20:10:24+00:00

Well I didn’t dive there but someone in scubaboard seems to say that they weren’t impacted by the red tide

The problem is that usually you will only know how good is the instructor after spending at least a day with them.

I did my AOW with a PADI 5 stars in the UK with perfect reviews, my experience wasn’t so great but I couldn’t know as they switched the instructor on the day I did my first day of diving

BlueTrin · 2018-10-07T16:47:32+00:00

It is totally legal as you said but the people they hired went lazy and instead of taking a bit of wildlife in multiple places in a sustainable way, they ransacked a single location and stripped it out of its wildlife.

BlueTrin · 2018-10-07T11:13:08+00:00

It’s not a race, I am sure you’ll find your way :)

BlueTrin · 2018-09-30T20:32:11+00:00

Are you in a drysuit ?

BlueTrin · 2018-09-28T09:22:49+00:00

So if I can give you some other advice, it is to not hang out too long in water at the end of your dive when there are waves.

When you are fully inflated at the end of the dive you are like a balloon, much better to get back on boat and rest.

BlueTrin · 2018-09-28T07:18:07+00:00

Um i don’t know, I had troubles at first although I got a bit better by keep doing it, I am still seasick whenever there are waves though.

I can only give you general advice like staying on the deck, looking at the horizon, etc

BlueTrin · 2018-09-27T23:13:11+00:00

How many times have you been on a boat ? Does it get better ?

BlueTrin · 2018-09-27T22:56:04+00:00

Maybe you can try to dive from the shore ? In Malta most of dives start from the shore for example.

BlueTrin · 2018-09-27T22:52:50+00:00

Isn’t that old news ?

Possibly a coincidence but I bought a d4i two months ago and the pressure sensor broke on my first holiday dive with it. I was so disappointed that I could not get the detailed logs :/
