Scuba Discussion Board Post: Wetsuits

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:00:12 GMT

Wetsuits

I�m new when it comes to buying equipment and thought I would start with a wetsuit first. After exploring several different options, I have narrowed it down to the Hendersen line. The question I have is that I like the 3mm H2 but it�s spendy, is it worth the cost? I also like the thermoprene but was wondering about the warmth of the 3mm and thinking about going to the 5mm. We dive mostly around Cozumel but hope to dive in coming years around Hawaii.

Re: Wetsuits

Hmmm.... a bit of deja vu here. I�m thinking you called me with this same question a bit ago. And if not, somebody out there is reading your mind! :o)

The Henderson line of wetsuits are a very high quality line that I�m sure you�d be more than happy with. The H2 is extremely stretchy and comfortable, but sometimes for some folks its a bit too elastic. While suitable for anybody looking for extreme comfort and mobility in their suit, it�s most useful for those who do not get a nice or proper fit in an off the rack suit. having 200% the elasticity of a normal neoprene suit, it expands and stretches in spots that the diver isn�t dead on in terms of sizig, offering a custom like fit! That fit equates directly into warmth as less water is pooling inside the suit where it shouldn�t be.

The Thermoprene suit isn�t quite as elastic as the H2. The main thing that will give you is a slightly better price. If the suit fits you well, you�ll still enjoy it�s warmth and the extra mobility you�ll gain as this material is 75% more flexible than the standard neoprene suit.

Either way you can�t go wrong with your choice. The quality of either suit is top knotch!

Lastly, it�s not uncommon at all for people to use a 5mm suit in Hawaii, although except for the middle of winter it�s often a bit warm for Caribbean diving/snorkeling. The nice thing about that is that you can always make a warm suit cooler by simply unzipping it a bit, where as you can�t make a cold suit warmer unless you add more neoprene layers to it.

Scuba Discussion Board Post: Re: better certification for all divers

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:00:16 GMT

Re: better certification for all divers

Scuba diving is a recreation that has evolved since the classes in the early 60?s. The classes then are not the classes I took in the late 70?s nor are they the classes we are offering today. But one thing that has remained a consistent theme through all scuba courses over the years is the emphasis on safety. I don?t contend to know anything about the ?rescues? you performed or have seen in or near the La Jolla Shores area, but I do know that in general today?s scuba instructors are training divers with a strong emphasis on personal safety just as they always have. The instructors in scuba and our industry as a whole are quite proud of our record, and we commonly boast that our mortality rate is lower than that of the vast majority of recreations. For instance you stand a better chance of suffering an injury by a golf ball, than you do scuba diving. This is not an accident, but due to the diligence of the scuba industry and its instructors.

Before I go on, let me say this. I?m not your average dive instructor. I?m not some diver who thought being a scuba instructor would be a fun way to dive for free. I?ve been an instructor for some years and have been certified as such by several training agencies finally attaining the Course Director rating. I?ve experience teaching and training divers from entry level open water courses through preparing divers to spend extended time in Cenotes or dive the Andrea Doria. I?ve also had experience as a teacher and instructor in recreations from alpine skiing, to ski racing, to mountaineering and winter outdoor survival. All of this isn?t intended to impress a soul but rather offer up that that my thoughts aren?t a whim but based on many years of various experiences.

The area you contend divers should not be is one of a couple very popular sites for deep training in Southern California that is accessible from shore without the aid of a boat. It is also a very unique and interesting area to explore, offering an amazing variety of marine life to see and while it does require training to prepare the diver to safely enjoy being there, it is far from an unsuitable dive site. The water here is generally calm and due to the underwater terrain, navigation is quite easy. In a nutshell, if for what ever unknown reason 2 students surface 1/3 of a mile, as you state, from their instructor in that particular area, chances are quite strong they are certified divers taking a continuing education class and would/should have the knowledge to follow the waves to the beach.

Everything over time evolves. Physicians once called upon Holy Men to rid people of illness, until Antony Van Leeuwenhoek discovered bacteria. Leeches were a preferred method of removing bad bacteria or virus?s until drugs were discovered to kill or control them. It wasn?t until after all this that common hygiene was found to be an effect way to avoid the majority of it all. People moved about using dangerous versions of steam engines until the carbureted internal combustion engine became common, only to evolve into a fuel injected version which is just now evolving into hydrogen or battery operated versions. Scuba courses over time have undergone this same evolution. The old Navy UDT or current Seal Team manual is a wealth of information and is the perfect tool if your goal is to infiltrate a beach unseen or if you choose to destroy something and escape silently. The level of fitness that those courses require is necessary for the diver who is being dropped off ? mile or more off shore and expected to swim to and from their submarine through surf conditions a defender would not expect a human to attempt. Many of the stringent standards for becoming a certified scuba diver from the early 60?s were deemed unrealistic and unnecessary by the time I took my first course in the late 70?s. From there the evolution of equipment

Scuba Discussion Board Post: better certification for all divers

Fri, 9 Oct 2009 22:17:12 GMT

better certification for all divers

Within the last 8 months, there have been a number of diver rescues near and around La Jolla Shores and Scripps. Early this year, I rescued 2 divers while I was swimming outside the 1/2 mile bouys between Scripps Pier and The Cove. The divers should not have been anywhere near where I was. At approximately where I was, the shelf drops from 60� to over 2000�. I have been out swimming and seen numerous rescues by the lifeguards since then. I have had 4 friends(all surfers) this year, including one yesterday, rescue divers in the area. In my opinion, none of these people should be out there. In the case where I rescued the two, I found them at least 1/3rd mile from where their instructor and the rest of the group were at. I blame that one on the instructor, and the lifeguards let him know when he came in as I reported the incident. The other cases with my friends rescues were also basically people doing dumb stuff. Poor instruction.
I have been diving since 1962, continued in the navy and hold every certification and at 60++, continue to swim to stay in shape and dive regularly.
The physical conditioning for certification should be like it was when everyone was trained by current or retired UDT prior to SEALS.
I understand your job is to train as many people as possible and sell equipment for a profit, thats being a good business person, part of America.
Safety needs to be of higher importance than sales, go back to the basics, better conditioning, use the SEAL manual, available on line at navy.seal.gov then put more time on stressing the basics, not fancy gear, focus on the ability to escape from problems and not rely on technology and others. If people are trained correctly, there would be less problems, less diver droupout and you would not have to relie on citizens like my friends and I. I realize harder training will blow out some people, but you really don�t want them. I see people suiting up at Kellog Park every day, and a good percentage should not be out there. If I looked like a lot of them, I wouldn�t place myself at risk, but go on a diet, swim, work out and get in shape prior to diving.
Please take this as constructive criticism. Diving is a great Joy and should be enjoyed by as many as possible, but get rid of the 2 hour resort training, etc. Make people responsible for themselves.
John

Re: mask clearing

Practice breathing from your snorkel or regulator with your face in the water without a mask on. You can pinch your nose if you need to, then let go and see if you can get comfortable breathing with your face in the water and no mask. Take your time and practice this until it does not bother you any longer. Then try the mask again.
