hehe... What am I up to? Bwahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mindfulness as defined by Jon Kabat-Zinn is ... "Paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally as if your life depends on it."

Kinda like that but I would say my own situational awareness, mindfulness, alertness & post count are more of a concern for me. I've been taught how to survive equipment failure so there is no need to be concerned for the rebreather killing me, more so I am more focused on being "present, in the...

Nice head dude. Once mine was that shiny and then I went cave diving... :woot:

where is the face-palm smiley face when you need it?!?!! :cuckoo:

Are you the original DD? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its actually better in person... we collided at the mainline in Ginnie by Hill400. I was laughing and he was pulling a reel. oops. I was in a class and he wasn't. I just thought it was ironic the whole thing and all.. I would like to consider my skill level to be second to my ability to keep an...

I blacked out.

I guess I'll share my tunnel vision story while in my CCR Cave course because it was such a huge learning experience I had for both myself and my dive buddy. Location was Manatee for the first dive in the system but not the first dive in a cave. This was a training dive that I had the...

As far as instructors go, my perspective as a student, I believe the demeanor of the instructor is as important or more important than the content. The environment for learning must encourage reflection, and must include ample time to discuss thought process items to ensure that even though a...

During my course I assembled my hammerhead and it didn't pass a negative. I was freaking out inside because I didn't truly understand what was going on and why my brand new rebreather wasn't working. (Would I be able to dive? Would I be able to finish the course? Would this be the first in a...

Thanks to the moderators for changing the thread title. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wonder if classes could include a section on "find the failure" where the instructor purposely removes an o ring and the student has to find the mistake or something along those lines to "diagnosing" and treating the rebreather. I think it would be good for divers to become hyper aware of...

I see what your saying, it almost reads as though Hollis made the mistake but what I was trying to say was someone made a fatal mistake on a Hollis. Let me reach out to a mod to hope to change that. Thanks for the feedback, I didn't intend to say the manufacturer made an error but rather the...

That is a prestigious award that only Mark can call his own. I love it. Even Don Six is the Chief DOE! :-D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having one mushroom valve in the hose and one in the DSV apparently allows the two mushroom valves to become located on one side when assembled incorrectly and when the hoses are assembled in that way the machine turns into a one lung system. Similar to a bag and not a loop. That is what I was...

Hollis Fatal Mistake I would like to personally apologize if someone believes I'm trolling here. I'm not. I care about the lives of divers and admitted that I don't have first hand knowledge of how the assembly process is completed on the prism. I will also admit to poking fun at stupid sh!t...

I can confirm the santi mask will work with a hammerhead to see the HUD. I had an eCCR and didn't have any issues with PPO2 but was monitoring it the whole time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://vimeo.com/113446528 The design of the P2 is not familiar to me but from the testimony of some folks regarding a fatality associated with the P2 design I figured I would ask those who dive this on here their thoughts. The conversation on this has occurred on scubaboard and haven't seen...
