Chatting to a few club members last night it became apparent that nobody dives twins or has any desire to do so in the club. How do i learn then do i just buy the stuff jump in and hope for the best or did you actually train with an agency etc I'm not thinking of doing it right now until i've got a bit more experience i was just looking at how i can progress my diving hopefully later this year as i'm trying to get in as many dives this year as i can. |
Hi
You don't need a twinset. You just need more time in the water. I have to say that I have never actually worked my SAC out, and although I do dive a twinset, I am happy to dive a single and in fact have a set of single regs and a couple of single steel cylinders for that very reason. My last dives were with Fiona last weekend and they were simply two dives of 30-40 mins each, and an average depth of about 12 mtrs I'd guess. I am sure that you would manage that.
You are welcome to come along with me when I post on the need a buddy section, and if I was you, and I wanted more diving experience, then the need a buddy section is very useful.
The VAST majority of members on YD are single cylinder divers, its just that all the gobby ones dive a twinset and that can give a false first impression
