Hello, my name is David and I'm a OC diver...

I aspire to some day become a CCR diver, or at least, that is what I would like to...
As you can see, I don't have any real hope in my future as a CCR diver, mainly because of the economics involved, but as for many other humans out there, hope is still there.

Currently I'm an OC diver with nitrox certificate and a twin 12-liter steel tank setup. Diving the cold murky waters off the swedish southern coast for most of the time. I'm currently looking for a course in accelerated deco proceedures or a rec trimix course to extend the time that you have at around 40 meters of depth (that's about 120 feet...)

Admintting your problem is the first step in recovery.... welcome to the group... you are surrounded by recovering OC divers. And a few who still have a problem.

Although my wife has told me a rebreather addiction is more costly then OC.

I actually had a relapse this weekend. I was teaching an OC tech class and had to don doubles. Don't worry though, I didn't enjoy it.

Funny... mine says the same as well.

I really hope it doesn't get to the point I have to choose... I'll really miss her.

Oh well...

With increasing prices on He (the prices where up with 40% the other day) it's easier and easier to promote the dark side.

Previously I allways wondered over the term 'dark side' but after investigating the sizeable investment it means to convert I now know that it's refering to the black hole it creates in your bank account...
