A Perspective on Teaching Cave CCR

Here is an article I did for GUE’s InDepth on cave ccr. Hope you enjoy.

Evolution of Dive Planning

A well written article by Mark Powell for shearwater that every diver should understand, tech or rec. I know I’m a bit of a deco nerd, but understanding how to interpret that which keeps us alive and heathy is critical.

Good Advice

To Share

Well, I'm just over a week from my first vaccination - so it seemed timely to share DAN's very good advice on diving after vaccination here.

Can you teach Open Water in backplate, harness and wing? -

Delighted to have supplied these Xdeep Personalised BCD's to Nautidiver. It's brilliant to welcome them to the SDI/TDI family and to see the superb approach in teaching it right (TIR?DIR!) from the beginning. Check out the article here on why. Happy to help. #xdeep #Apekstechnicalcentre #technicallyinspired #caveinstructor #trimixinstructor #ccrinstructor #sidemountessentialsinstructor #TDIdivecentre #ANDIfacility #onlysellwhatwedive TDIdivers #southwestech

How confident are you going back to diving at the level of your top qualification? Lockdowns have affected us all. So, if there is enough demand we are happy to run skills refresher days / weekends across Ireland. We are happy to do it for FREE! Why? because it's important for confidence and safety. All we ask is any dive site costs are shared equally between the group. Clubs, Tekkies of any level, CCR divers and Cave divers. All welcome. pm/email if you want to join us.

STOP. If you are thinking of jumping back in the water with gear stored and unused for the lockdown, please, don't.

Stage Rigging

We get asked a lot about stage rigging, both for open circuit decompression, for cave stages and for CCR bailout.
