I feel tingly in my tongue. Right on the tip. I usually don't feel it until 2nd or 3rd dive past 200. Thats when I end it for the day, or at least take it shallower.

The last time I looked this was a spearfishing forum.And other than blind catfish and crawfish there are not many targets in a cave.Give us a trip report on them if you can manage to shoot something in there.

I would hate to hear about you getting hurt or killed. Do yourself and your family a favor and get the proper training and experience to do these types of dives. |

I'm workin on it and put this thread up for just some friendly advice. Seems that most that responded gave me just that, and I thank you all for it. Like I said, I'm allready doing some mildly deep stuff. Just looking to stay a little longer and clean up with a richer mix for shorter deco. Guy I spoke to today told me the course runs $1200 but he would train me for $600. Does that sound like a decent number? It is a TDI course that involves 6 trips and 12 dives. Thanks again. |

You should spend more time taking the proper classes and answering the questions that I posted, than cut/copy/pasting everyone's response that agreed with you so that you could stroke your huge viagra enhanced ego! Then Maybe you'll understand how ridiculous your question is! Like I said earlier, if you knew the math, you wouldn't ask this question. But you're too smart for your own good! Don't read the books, just wait for the movie! Enjoy your air dives, I'll look you up in the next "special olympics"! DEE.. DEE.. DEE.. Safe Diving

That's awesome, thanks for the plug dude. I'll crosspost your endorsement on a few other boards. Unfortunately, I'm booked till October 18th, but I will be more than happy to take on new students after that. I'll even give any student a 10% discount on the class if they mention you By the way Rocky, I'm still waiting for you to answer those questions in post #7. Also, you might want to seek consultation on your dick fetish. You seem a little... um...Obsessed with it. That can't be good for you dude, you should really get it checked out. Have a Macho day

I will shoot bigger fish than you, I will dive deeper than you, I will make more dives a day than you, Afterwards, I will drink more beer than you, beat the **** out of you in wrestling and **** more pussy than you!!! Ever figured how to get a beer holder on that piece of shit you call a motorcycle? You'll never be of Hell Diver caliber, too self centered.
