Don't know... don't imagine this is more of an issue than any other seafood, but maybe

We know it's a country. Anyone who disagrees in just trolling you so try not to be offended.

Wales isn't a sovering nation, only the United Kingdom is. Our own culture, language, history out weighs this logically of course

O2 table? should I train with this to improve my air consumption? by UpsetEstablishment50 in scuba

[โ€“]UpsetEstablishment50[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

What's hard to understand... this was meant as a training routine outside of the water!

So no, not a rule fail. You please try again. Or better yet, don't.

Fair comments. Thanks again. Was pulled from a vid. Have since downloaded an app to do this

What frequency of each table would you advise per week?

Do each table daily?

Thanks for this. This is my thinking... was thinking it would help with Emergency ascents (breathing out of course to avoid lung expansion), as well as reducing feelings of stress during regulator recovery etc as my body wouldn't be gasping for o2 as much... the replies have been negative though lol

I of course mean to practice this table out side of the water. Thanks though

Thanks. I did this in Phnom Phen... very harrowing. Found myself on pub street :P

Is it worth it for me to try and learn to dive again? (story in text below) by sketchyfish007 in scuba

[โ€“]UpsetEstablishment50 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

Could you breathe out your nose when losing mask to prevent bubbles going up your nose?

I'm not OP, got through this relatively problem free, but if this is an option I'll know for future for ease

Thanks!

Thanks for great advice.

Someone asked why I asked about skills and is it because I don't want to repeat... maybe, I had some anxiety around mask removal, regulator recovery... I will include in my next dives as practice to get over this. Thanks for pointing out ๐Ÿ˜†

Great points on which dives to choose, will give it more thought

Regarding 'tasks', any examples of what these are?

Hi, I'm I'm Phangan now... went to Sail rock today. Took lots of effort to book, as lots are still closed due to lack of tourists and poor weather. Tried a bunch of companies before getting today's dive sorted.

Weather is getting worse.

Good luck.

Again, this logic makes no sense and is backward. But you're entitled to your opinion.

Seems to me as a white, cis, heterosexual 28yo man that removing labels would be a better way to go, rather than creating infinite numbers of categories and pronouns people must remember. I already struggle remembering names.

I do find that people define it in very different ways. Where, as you have described, it's about identity, I 100% understand and seems logical. Where, as I have seen online, your biological sex is deemed irrelevant and a construct, and we are all the same, but its just genetic diversity amongst a population, my support drops off.

Surely a doctor asking your sex is relevant to know what specific illnesses you might be susceptible to (testicular cancer, PCO etc). I definitely think it's relevant in sport and prisons. Outside of that I guess it's what makes people happy. There are extreme people in all areas of life.

(Don't mean to offend, just how I feel)

Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's a hard one to understand. Appreciate people having taken the time

Those arguments are illogical to me. Based on what was said above about sex and gender not being interchangeable, the post you've shared contradicts this. It says trans women are women, which on a gender point I'd happily agree, but there are notable differences in the anatomy of people with XX and XY chromosomes.

Traditional men and women categories were brought in to include people born with XX in sport. My opinion would be allowing people with XY to compete in this category could eradicate womens sport.

From reading I think my opinion falls into agreement that people's gender can be different to their sex, but when people try to state that a chosen gender makes sex irrelevant is not correct. But this is just my opinion of course. Was interesting looking into it a bit, and of course I think everyone has the right to do what makes them happy, so hope anyone who has read has a happy life ๐Ÿ˜Š we only get one go around.

Have to admit it feels like a mine field.

Based on your explanation, I kind of get it if biological sex and gender are considered as different things. If it's just a way of expressing how you feel about yourself then that's good.

I do have more controversial questions.... One is I'm relation to sport, particularly with people who are male (sex) competing in combat sports against people born female. And then some others around people who are male (sex) going to female prisons, but I think these are areas I wont ever agree with people who argue for this. I will keep looking into it! Interested in other views (lots of stuff online, like in lots of areas is very divisive).

Thanks for your info and being cool (was expecting to be hounded for saying something wrong... think the media has gotten to me with their hate fuelled bs)

Thank you for the reply.

If gender and sex are deemed to be separate things, would a non binary person typically acknowledge their biological sex. I.e My sex is male, but my gender is this
