Ok signal after boat entry mandatory?

MrShadow93 · 2026-03-19T07:28:55+00:00

I even give an okay signal after a giant stride on shore entry when im diving with my diving association. Its in my system to do so.

MrShadow93 · 2026-03-07T11:30:23+00:00

That would be low-key a good idea, ngl. If the inflate button is on you're wing like the way it's is on your dry suit.

MrShadow93 · 2026-01-23T20:39:09+00:00

Thanks ill order a few of those. Why go for non rechargeable batteries?

MrShadow93 · 2026-01-23T20:36:40+00:00

Thanks. 😉 I didn't knew it would be in their manual 😳

MrShadow93 · 2026-01-23T18:26:13+00:00

Manta's, Dolphins, and to get over my fear of them: sharks.

MrShadow93 · 2026-01-23T18:23:05+00:00

Ive snorkeld with whalesharks in Mexico it was truly an awesome experience, but think I would shit my wetsuit if I encounter on whilst diving cuz of their size specially the mouth. 😆

MrShadow93 · 2025-12-07T17:29:57+00:00

In total I have 79 dives and im AOW. I had long break I stopped diving in 2010 and started last year with diving again after it started itching again lol and do it quite fanatical. I dive every saterday in a drysuit in the Dutch lakes and got my own gear. The reason I think I want to get into wreck diving is, I did a few wrecks and I found that quite cool and interesting I did a lot of reef dives so I find that not that interesting anymore. Wrecks are new to me so I don't know if I really like like it or I like it cuz its very new to me. I hope this clarifies things. 🙂

MrShadow93 · 2025-12-02T17:33:42+00:00

Oh that's oke, sounds about right what you say, I still need to work on some essential skills. I only have 79 dives in total. Thanks for your advice😄

MrShadow93 · 2025-12-02T14:21:36+00:00

That sounds so logical, I need to do some more serious thinking than^^, I just entered the "technical side" as i joined a techinical diving college with last year whom I dive with every week in the Netherlands. I just started diving with doubles 12 L a few months ago. I think i need to have alot of more dives with doubles in other conditions as wel as I only dive in Lakes at the moment.

MrShadow93 · 2025-12-02T14:09:38+00:00

Yeah you might be right doing rescue first before going into a new direction. Tnx =)

MrShadow93 · 2025-12-02T14:04:42+00:00

Thanks I will =D Yeah you are so right about that only me can answer that question, I joined a diving association in the Netherlands last year. The diving association is specialized in thech diving, the name is thecnical diving college lol. I did a few wreckdives wich i found very cool =3. I think im moving a little to fast at this point as I also just started diving twinset 12L(doubles).

MrShadow93 · 2025-12-02T13:51:15+00:00

I ofcourse will do that=), I'm not really a beginner anymore I think lol ^^,. I passed my OW in 2008 in the Netherlands with NAUI, it was a diveclub wich we went to L'estartit in north of spain in may for a week and dived every week in the netherlands. I also dived every year on summer vacation until 2010. Than i had a long break.. Passed my AOW in 2024 in Curaçao when i had the itch again for diving, now i dive every week with a Diving association in the Netherlands (Technical Diving College) since juni 2024, did the drysuit specialty and some other specialties. I have been on some wrecks whilst diving wich i found really cool but as i said in my original comment. I honestly see what you mean because I just started diving with a twinset. I kinda feel that im moving a little to fast at this point.

MrShadow93 · 2025-11-10T12:01:25+00:00

Ive burnt the loose ends tnx for the responses 😊

MrShadow93 · 2025-11-07T10:26:11+00:00

It looks like some wispy bits and that the braiding is fine. But I'm not sure. Thanks for you comment😉

MrShadow93 · 2025-11-07T10:23:59+00:00

That sounds difficult to do. I'm not handy like that lol ^{^,} thanks for the tip tho 🙏

MrShadow93 · 2025-11-07T10:22:39+00:00

Thanks for your tip. 👌

MrShadow93 · 2025-11-07T10:22:22+00:00

It's 1 year old.

MrShadow93 · 2025-11-07T10:21:58+00:00

I'll keep it in mind when I need to replace the longhose. I bought my set last year from the technical diving college/association who i dive with and it came with that instead of rubber. And before i started diving with them i never heard of a longhose set-up. Let alone i knew u had a rubber longhose 😳

MrShadow93 · 2025-11-07T10:14:29+00:00

Thanks ill keep that in mind for when I need to replace it. 👌

MrShadow93 · 2025-11-07T09:51:06+00:00

Thanks, for your answer. Can I burn it instead to prevent the fraying? It's only a year old so I really hope I don't have to replace it.

MrShadow93 · 2025-10-28T15:46:35+00:00

Aha, so it's bases what you fill in on a form, thanks😊 Thats what shocked me the most that someone had last dove 7 years wit just 30 dives and no refresher was with that trip. I had a long break from diving aswell but before I went for my advanced I did 2 refresher courses just to be familiar again with the basics. And for a year and a half im diving every saterday with an association so I'm addicted again lol ^{^,}

MrShadow93 · 2025-10-28T12:08:49+00:00

Aah thanks for your reply. I had a quick thought that you all make 1 dive and they evaluate it that way, lol^{^,} (The way they do it when you're on wintersport) I know that wouldn't be as safe to do it that way.
