I stand corrected.

Fundamentals is the entry for GUE tech or cave training neither of which can be done on a RB either. Why? because GUE don't believe that RBs are needed at that level. If you think differently, as you clearly do, there are many other agencies out there who will train you.

your right i don't need to do the course, i have some scary silly CCR tickets that take care of that BUT i want to do the course to learn about the holistic approach to diving but why only OC? I don't need the OC tech or cave cards but i alwasy enjoy learning and opening my eyes to other ways of diving. I think the team approach is highly commendable and thats most of DIR/GUE that i'd like to learn about.

Blimey, I have been out for gas - done some shopping and come back and find this. What a load of BS some people are spouting.

Almost makes me glad I can't access YD at work


and like a few more I wondered what Ben had posted for it to be deleted by Jay, now we all know.

Ben - take a seat and try and work out where you went wrong.

Sixy I would happily dive with you! - if I ever see you bring any kit to Wraysbury on a Wednesday night anyway...

Bear in mind that I have just done fundies so I am now a diving god and currently rule the country.

Why do you keep having to refer to Howard for approval? Are you his new lady-boy or something?

No you'll loose the same amount of gas manifold open or shut.

If (for example) you are spilling 100lpm from your 1st stage, wether the manifold is open or shut you are still loosing 100lpm (unless I'm chatting a load of old crap). The gas lost is purely dictated by the length of time the offending valve is open.

but using 2 hands would reduce the amount of time any valve stays open, as one hand shuts the manifold the other would be shutting the next valve and so on.

or 1 hand closes manifold then moves onto next valve and so on, closing valves individually, one by one.
