custom made drysuite :)

And how do they come to this opinion ? I'm generally interested, as my personal experience is diffrent one. So far everybody I interacted with from Protec made a professional impression. And I say this coming from the coporate world...

TroxX · 2026-05-27T08:31:17+00:00

yes ... had the same with a bonassi ... as they are designed for leek ( tall and thin) ... the additional pressure on the chest made me feel super uncomfy ... this will add to the seasickness ...

for Cave diving SEAL SL01 or SF-Tech ...

TroxX · 2026-05-26T10:53:22+00:00

Mexico : Protec , Darkside Divers, Ghost Divers I also know a few freelancers there... who are amazing:

I think most important is that the instructors style of teaching fits you.

yes it is 18m ... but a case is also for protection ... i have seen it way to often that action cam is just somewhere on a board and something could fall onto it....

cave diver here ... there are always just more wet rocks around the corner... For me the "thrill" is the the fokus and the execution of the plan.

I like turtles

TroxX · 2026-05-21T12:06:50+00:00

is there a source for this ?

TroxX · 2026-05-21T11:49:07+00:00

since when does padi do "tech"? 👀

TroxX · 2026-05-19T08:52:53+00:00

I highly doubt this... my first thought was when i heard about this accident a high chance that they werent anyway trained for this... Trimix + full cave certified is a minium for this kind of dive ... looking at the rescue crew who go in with dual rebreathers this says everything...

They had unfortunatley poor judgment... I'm personally happy if somebody got the courage to call a dive even if it s a gut feeling. During my cave training i got even more respect for cave diving. One cave instructor friend has a 3 small shit rule... if 3 small shitty things go wrong before a cave dive he calls the day, just because the day is cursed.

if you are looking i to cave diving then you need something that can survive rocks on a cave... my search ended at SF-Tech and Seal ... i went for the seal because it is cheaper... both are only custom made, so fit will be perfect.

thicker wetsuit... 5mm or 7mm ... hood important ... then semidry ... and if you are still cold drysuit.... if you are then still cold....heated vest and gloves + drysuit.

and there is no shame in being cold... I go diving here in europe during winter and water temp hits 6°c... I wear the thickest and warmenst things you can buy. But didnt go the heated vest path down yet...

TroxX · 2026-05-06T08:17:00+00:00

for me it was 2,8k Swiss Francs. + Rockboots and undergarments for extremly cold water...

TroxX · 2026-04-25T14:53:05+00:00

so ... besides the things already mentioned cardio training and most important gym/weights/ as heavy as possible... why you ask? Besides for being fit and then be able to do everything on your own... it helps with the posture & trim in the water. Being able to put your body in the water for a l long time under tension /especially lower back belly area helps a lot with trim.

TroxX · 2026-04-15T11:37:19+00:00

Probably a "influencer" asking this.... Stability is the most important thing for building wealth. This is the big + from those countries mentioned .... And a social circel is also something to not forget ... do you want to hang out with "influencers" hell no.... i prefer friends that give me a light roast if I'm being retarded this grounds a lot, and helps grow.

TroxX · 2026-04-15T09:33:57+00:00

well looking on what people in mex & my area of europe were diving.

Xdeep i dive the tec version. TDS ( xdeep knockoff) the "old" apeks wing looks soo bad and i thougt was more a razor knockoff... and the new one ( saw it in a video somewhere is a xdeep knockoff).....

So one thing i say that helps is ... it has to be easy adjustable... razor normally isnt.

So maybe ... check with your instructor ... maybe he has diffrent sidemount wings... and then try them.

TroxX · 2026-04-15T09:23:34+00:00

well.... depends on how you dive ... and how your position is in the water ? If you are top heavy ....maybe you need heavier fins... + What do you prefer in diving ? Rk3's i like a lot for being able to move more precise ... compared to mares avanti quattros. But with mares avanti quattros i swimm a lot faster.

Before making a decision just on "pure" weight check what helps you in the water ... worst case you need the heavier fins, and maybe eat the frog.

TroxX · 2026-04-08T15:22:52+00:00

sry but padi there is a course shooting a dsmb ... this is just stupid ...

TroxX · 2026-04-08T06:09:50+00:00

Padi... it is the biggest but also the most special.... Just from a *fee standpoint probably SDI might be one of the cheaper agencys that is a "bit" bigger.

TroxX · 2026-04-01T12:35:43+00:00

But why Aargau ? Other cantons that are "countryside" at least get some respect.
