His Full Face Mask isn't DIR and he isn't a fit young thing.

I asked if I could sneak in, not expecting to get any qualification just because I heard a lot of good things about it. However I dived inverts because my shoulders are trashed and at the time I even had to use tricks to wash the back of my neck (I'm a bit better now) and that wasn't acceptable. No fundies for Nigel.

I'd still like to do a helicopter turn though...

I'm just having fun with words and no I haven't done a fundies course. For a start, when I was diving' I used a FFM and have every intention of doing so on my eventual return. Oh, and I used mitts in winter and .............

Well what's stopping you? You have You Tube, a mirror and a puddle to practice in don't you? They're not hard. Backfinning however is a different kettle of fish - properly difficult IMO.

I'm a bit scared of the whole FFM idea. I like the fact with my current set up that i can still breathe even if i cant see (in the unlikely event of mask failure or losing it). I dunno cos i've never used or even seen one but i'm guessing if a FFM fails you cant breathe or see?

Yes I did a PADI fundies, then a BSAC one, then back to a PADI one, then
BSAC etc. Think they were called OW, AOW, SP, RD, DL, DM, AD, AI, OWI,
AI, IT and a few others in there i've forgotten

Correct. There is no chance (in normal diving) of losing the mask + I practised bailing out and I always dived with a 'necklaced reg' after I nearly killed myself with it. But don't let my stupidity put you off FFMs which are v/comfy and v/warm in winter + mine looks pretty cool (shame I don't match up to it! ).
