Mushroom Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 hmm still i would of thought you would of got more than that. woot scuba diving is awesome I love it the other group of five pulled out so there is just 3 of us the other two are cool people and we ended up having extra time left over to work on anything we wanted. I am trying to master hovering but damm its hard.

IanB Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Mushroom, I got my divers cert back when I was 13 Trick is to get your weights right, find a combination that works for you and stick with it. Also, allways remember that you can allways dump weight but you cant gain it.

Mushroom Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 yeah i started playing with weights and found 5 weihts were fine two either side of my hips and one in the small of my back. I was working on trying to control my breathing so i sit in different areas in the colum of water.

Mushroom Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 i'm learning with pro dive we have been doing all the pool work at bulimba and next weekend we go to straddie and do 2 shore dives and 2 boat dive. I have always wanted to do it but have kept putting it off. I am enjoying it so much I will be buying my own fins, boots, snokel and mask.

IanB Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 me and my dad go diving out of our boat a fair bit, prehaps you can come along once your qualified? We have our own gear (masks, tanks, vests, fins, etc). If I was you id go for a lighter weight with less air in your vest. For a start, you wont waste as much air inflating it, you will be more mobile as well as a large amount of weights can be quite uncomfortable. Also, inflating the vest reduces your ability to move around. Also, how thick is your wetsuit? A thicker wetsuit will cause added bouncy. Personally, I wear a 7mm set of johns and a 5mm top, which adds quite alot of floatation to my setup, meaning I dont have to use a whole lot of air at all to maintain even bouancy (I cant spell that word ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/119375-whoretown-now-interest-free/page/1151/#findComment-2821635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushroom Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 ahh i was only in a pool so buoyancy is going to be tricky at best, I didn't have the BCD inflated much. I was wearing a 5m wetsuit but wasn't a springer suit. I have passed all the theory and we have done most of the prac next weekend is our first dives in the ocean and as the instructer said it will take us a little bit at the start to setup out equipment but he is very surprised at how quick we have all picked up the skills (esp removing the bcd underwater and putting it back on). How good are the mares fins as these are a set i am looking at or the aqualung fins?

IanB Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Wouldnt know. The fins I use (along with my wetsuit) come from a company that went under a lonnng time ago - there all my dads stuff from when he was a wee man like myself. im off to worskies now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/119375-whoretown-now-interest-free/page/1151/#findComment-2821652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanB Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 If you dive and hunt your a pussy. Real spearfishers use there lungs, otherwise its not hunting its exterminating.

85URK Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 troy, once u are qualified u have to come up and dive the hmas brisbane off mooloolaba, that would be a good dive, lots of marine life down there since its been sunk. they showed pictures of it on the news a while back 1 year after it was sunk, fish have made it there habitat very quickly same with the coral etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/119375-whoretown-now-interest-free/page/1151/#findComment-2821733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
