2 HOURS ON 180 METERS!?!?!? Are you fuckin nuts!?!?

nope. I did 131met on Inspiration and 120met on megalodon.

клево. Дмитрий, это тот дайв который на тетисе обсуждался?

@webgazda no I aint nuts just a professional diver who has done well over 4 hours at that depth several times.

@webgazda no I aint nuts just a professional diver who has done well over 4 hours at that depth several times.

bullshit. I needed 20min to get to 265met, spent there 2 min and had almost 11 hours of deco. 4 hours on 180 meters, you’d get a week of deco and you’d needed a Titanic-size of a vessel as a support we’re talking about OC-dive here, not industrial-grade rebreathers for oil rig U welders.

@webgazda bullshit to you pal ‘cos I’m a saturation diver with many years experience so you see why 2 minutes bottom time (just enough time to fart) don’t impress me when we do 4 to 6 hours actually working at that depth.

@eannab I’m sorry but you talk nonsense. Anyone who thinks that nitrox is a deep diving gas show themselves as knowing nothing about diving. There are too many armchair Cousteau’s on this site.

my apologies for the poor wording of my statement
when i said deep, i mean about 30-40 meters
that is deep by military standards (which is what i was referring to) as any deeper may be impractical and unnecessary depending on the mission
Although they have been known to experiment with various gases at the 80 meter mark
And for the record, i am a qualified padi scuba instructor and have done 2 and a half years in the military so i know what im talking about
im just bad with words and i apologise

@eannab yeah sorry for the mini attack – I get narked from so many of the ridiculous posts from wannabe divers. I also can’t stand people spouting off about world depth records when that has been set already at over 700 meters by working divers. Zooming down a piece of string and coming straight back up without achieving ANYTHING (apart from lots of ear equalising) doesn’t impress me at all.

thats alright mate, i agree with you there
sorry for the misunderstanding mate

You CAN NOT compare saturation dives with open-circuit dives. Thats a bullshit comparation that does not work in this case, those two dives a not comparable, its different worlds of diving!

hey guys,
what was your deco times or did you stay within your bottom times

@superfast30 the hardest part i found of carring 5-6 tanks is getting back up in teh bout but i have never been this deep but i have carried 6 tanks

damn dude, try CCR!

Cool guys,

But I would check out surface supply, much easyer LOL!

now this is serious diving

Awesome Awesome

Brilliant!!

@Berkcam I’ve only had 3 dives, the guy teaching me is a Tech Diver, but as a newbie even I know about Tri-Mix…

One problem with youtube, everyones an expert!

@Berkcam HAHAHAHA thumbs up. Nitrox a deep gas?! Although you do use a 60% mix in Tec Deco stops, even 100% above 6 meters to cut down on the Deco time?

I just started a Tec course after doing my Nitrox course last week. Got to 66 meters last night and really psyched up about getting back out there. It’s a real shame I discovered the Philippines and Diving at 29 and not 19!

Oh well, I’ll make up for lost time!

@Berkcam Is it true that if you stay in a bell at depth when commercial diving (ie. stay on site for 3 months lets say) your beard and fingernails don’t really grow at all (very very slow if anything)

So what was the total dive time? Must have had something like 4 hours Deco from that 2 minutes at 202 right? Even with Pure O2 in the shallows?! If I am learning I would say about 5 deep stops and 3 shallow stops with pure O2 at 3 meters and a EANx60 at 10 and 6 meters?

Do I get a gold star or do I need to read some more?

I’m just learning….

Wouldn’t a mixed gas re-breather be a better idea for that depth?

@WolfieTed – I have never really experienced slow hair or nail growth… or maybe just haven’t noticed! What I do suffer from is terrible ‘compression arthralgia’ in the back – a lower back ache like you have just dug a trench – horrible.
