My dive video is finally uploaded. Here is the uncut video of my dive. We got Clown Fish, Crocodilefish, and lots of Lionfish in this one. Enjoy.

This was my first dive since my spinal injury so its a big milestone for me to getting back into the water. It is a shore dive with a 70ft max depth, one hour in the water (video is significantly shorter)

@lurker Same, and i really try to avoid muting instances.

Thats the blue hole dive im saving for the end of the week.

Little known fact that few recreational divers know, but many tec divers realize. Boyancy control actually gets easier the deeper you go and boyancy is the hardest to control at your 10/20 foot safety stop.

The reason is because pressure increases 1atm every 10 meters, so pressure doubles in that first 10 meters, but only increase by 10% between 100 and 110 meters. This means a small change in depth at shallow depths results in a large change in gas volume and as such your boyancy, so its easy to loose control because if you rise a few feet you might go from neutral to positive boyancy, as you float to the top this will just keep accelerating.

The best way to handle this is just to make sure you have as little weight on you as possible while still being able to sink. This means you need less air in your bcd to be neutral so there is less volume change and its easier to control.

@jch For the most part yes. My skills came back to me quickly. Only thing i have to do next time is find a clip for one of my BCD ports that was flapping around a bit. Other than that I was pretty good. My boyancy control was a solid 8 out of 10, so good enough to do some tec diving but could use some minor improvement.

While you all are waiting for the actual video from my dive today (which is taking forever to upload) here are the 2 most interesting screen grabs. One is a pair of clownfish, likely mates, and the Sea Anemone they call home. The other is a picture of a Crocodilefish. Unfortunately I didnt get a video of the Moray Eel I saw on the dive.

Look at that beautiful dive profile ;)

Holy shit Jupiter os the brightest ive ever seen it tonight. In fact it was so bright i could even see it while the sun was out but setting. Amazing.

Dive went great today, 71 feet max, an hour dive, 66% nitrogen loading, boyancy was good, ascent profile was very gradual and safe. All the hallmarks of a perfect dive. Picture below shows my nitrogen tissue loading about 45 minutes after the dive. Link below if you want to see the full dive details.

i also took some video, will be sharing that soon.

@cosas
You seem to have a very incorrect view of capitalism. If people are exploited then it isnt a free market, that is the opposite of capitalism.

@cosas
As for where the fault lies, no its a combination of many things, poor money habits are a huge part, but that is passed down and is closely connected with education.

I am a very vocal supporter of free education for effectively this reason and others.

@cosas
I already explained how inventions that increase effiency essentially create out of "nothing" by creating more with less. That said yes there are also plenty of creations out of nothing, stories for example, yoga instructors, math equations, etc

@olamundo
Just shared the profile, videos coming soon.

Heading out for my dive, wish me luck

Pro tip, when hiring someone to be a dive guide always hire the dude that looks like he hasnt showered in a month, has ragged long hair, and his big toes look like they were gnarled by a bear (the result of many tank drops on his feet). You wont regret it, these people have salt water in their veins.

This pretty much sums up any advice I have with regards to poa.st

@funny

Tomorrow's Dive plan:

EAN32 gas
25m/75 feet max depth
Max bottom time for NDL 30 minutes.

Looking good! We will probably stay a bit shallower and get even more time under im thinking. Ill be wearing doubles so im good within any reasonable NDL.
