Hi Everyone

**MartyC** · June 3rd, 2007, 05:41 PM

Thought I'd come along and join the fun, I'm Padi MSD and have started looking into technical diving, which has led me towards DIR/GUE.
Theres lots about the system and ethos that I find attractive and I want to learn more, to improve my diving skills, fitness and overall knowledge and

to meet like minded people.
Singles I currently dive a buddy tekwing with a ds4 - xtx40 and an r390 scubapro.
Twins, 12ltr with an Agir wing, 2 x mk25's with an S600 & R390
I must confess I haven't dived the Agir yet - don't linch me - as I've been diving my set up with an OMS wing and inverted tanks - I can't reach me valves right way up and its more a dry suit issue than anything else - I've been practicing with the set up and I can reach the valves in a T-shirt but not in my dry suit

. Time for a change I think but not enough cash at the moment.
I've signed up to "experience" DIR at Capers with Neilh at the end of July and if I can get my self together I hope to do fundies early next year.
I've done 82 dives to date and am off to Eygpt for a week doing the northern wrecks which will push me over the hundred mark, then off to scapa in August "YD Scapa Virgins" trip which I really looking forwards to.
I also post on YD.
That's it for now
