I tried Buddy, went for a free trial offer and was charged for the month anyway. After a couple weeks of getting new buddy alerts for people many hundreds of miles away, plus not wanting to manually add each of my dives, plus not achieving any value add from this app... I cancelled and deleted my account. Maybe if you're an influencer you get it free and perhaps more, then have at it. Otherwise it's a no for me.

I used the Dive Rite Nomad XT system amd loved it. Never did a course as it felt completely natural. In the end I did my advanced trimix trainng in sidemount...I will never go back to rear doubles.

I learned to DPV dive on a rebreather, sidemount, drysuit, and in the overhead. It was the most challenging course I have ever taken. I have hundreds of hours of DPV time now, and for the last 2 years almost all towing my backup DPV. It’s a great tool.

hello azul. i just did the side mount course i finished it this weekend.my opinion is that it was nice. for safety and for streamline .how ever the gear set up i felt it very complicated and stressful ..how you have to pass the bungee from under the valve and over to the other side. while its very hard. when in a Sigle tank just setup quick and dive with no hassle ...now this can of course be a skill issue where i just need more practice and hopefully i will get the hang of it... my instructor said i did very good because i managed to get control of all the tanks (2 + stage) underwater.....also my dry suit got flooded then i felt a lot of cold and i just lost all concentration on skills practice. Well overall i had a bad experience because its stressful. maybe someday i will change my mind and try again.
@AzulUnlimited6 күн бұрын
Sorry you had that experience but you’re right. It just takes time and practice to make it feel easy. If possible, I would give it another go before the skills feel rusty💙

I dive LP 85 twins with a lightened steel backplate. I am still trying to wrap my head around the concept of having to add trim weights to hp100 twins. Even with a carbon fiber backplate, it's still stupidly negative. In my experience, you can balance most rigs without adding weight. During my Advanced nitrox/Decompression procedures check out dives my doubles were so head heavy that I spent half the class doing summersaults. It got so bad that I left the water, went to the shop, borrowed a soldering iron, and added two new holes into my wing. The results were immediate. I was in proper teim the remainder of the class. Of course, that's just my experience. I am not the gentleman in the video, and can't claim his unique situation doesn't require additional weights to balance out. However, I have noticed that many divers are often reluctant to modify their equipment beyond basic adjustments. I understand why you wouldn't want to modify safety equipment. I would argue some peices of gear are easier and safer to modify than others. So, if you're head heavy in doubles, adding a new adjustment grommet 1' lower than the current lowest, you can can get some decent results without adding weight. Also, I have seen some Tech BCs that have fairly abysmal bladder volume near the top compared to the rest of the wing. I had an old Dive Rite that had that problem. Ultimately I found that I couldn't adjust around the design. The solution was to buy a different wing.
@ShaheinMoussavi18 күн бұрын
what kind of exposure protection are you wearing? i didn’t need much, if any, weight when i was diving with a bz200 and my hp100s. but i recently switched to a bz400 (with a heated vest) and while i can still descend with full tanks, it becomes very uncomfortable trying to hold a stop once they get below 2000 psi or so. we add weight so that we can hold a stop at 10ft with 500 psi left in our tanks. as mentioned in the video, you will always start the dive quite negative, but as you breathe the tanks down, you will find you need less and less gas in your wing to stay neutral.
@MariaWilliams-p3r17 күн бұрын
What Shahein said is true. In a BZ200 with a heated vest I don't need any weight in the hp100s with a carbon fiber BP, but in a bz400 I need 4lbs to hold a 10ft stop at 500psi in the twinset. I used to dive faber LP85s here and in a BZ400 with carbon fiber BP I needed an 8lb v-weight to hold my stop. And at 5'4 and 115ish I'm a lot smaller than most of the divers here.
@AzulUnlimited6 күн бұрын
Thank you for all this discussion, everyone! Super helpful. I think you’re right, people hesitate to modify because we don’t want to compromise safety, but also, it’s terrifying to adjust a very expensive piece of equipment. And if there are options to fix the issue without permanently changing the original design, that’s the way to go in my book🙏

Highly recommend double-50s for short divers (I am 5'1"). I completed GUE Tech 1 in that configuration. Thanks for the video - very interesting seeing how others have addressed challenges with gear!
@sifakalemur416218 күн бұрын
Cave filled LP 50s are great. They are lighter, and tend to allow for better trim. They also look the coolest. The only problem with twinset LP 50s, or any LP tank for that matter, is getting them filled beyond 3000 PSI (2640 if it's a particularly pedantic shop). At least outside if cave country. 2 50s is roughly the equivalent of a single LP 95. With a timid fill they are nearing the gas volume of a standard aluminum 80 at standard pressure. Then again, smaller divers tend have astoundingly good SAC rates. That being said, it's a lot of extra equipment for only slightly more gas. (Of course the added redundancy as well, but still)

Thank you for the tip. I’ve heard good things about those for shore diving in California where the exit can be dicey (monastery beach for example). It’s cool to hear what people are doing to be comfortable underwater
