Hmmmmmmm feeling rather bad now, it was not my intention to slur Leighs very very good name, as was pointed out i have just completed my tec 40 and started my tec 45 course, so any thoughts of doing trimex would be a good couple of yearys down the line anyway.
This was all bought about when speaking to my instructor Ryby Stonehouse of blue ocean diving, who had dived with Leigh a few years ago.
It was Ryby's intention to set up trimex courses for blue ocean diving with Leigh, but after a recent phone call Ryby was told that he had changed his diving configeration and now does single bladder non bungied wings and uses drysuits as back up bouyancy, or gets students to wear skins as there is no compression as with wet suits, and defo no split fins.
As has been pointed out this is hear say as i have not herd it my self from Leigh, so i would encourage anyone looking to do courses with him to contact him direct for details of courses and configeration.
as i said above it was not my intention to poo poo him at all, and if there was a choice for doing trimex with his fantastic reputation i would have gone to him, but after just paying nearly £450 for a wing i will not change my gear, not that i really know what a dir rig is.
hope this has cleared things up.
cheers john
