BestOfDiving.info

It contains a lot of goot information about diving all over the world, including my favorite place ‘The Red Sea’.

A lot of very nice pictures as well, go have a look.

There are versions of the magazine for PC/Mac, Android, Iphone, iPad and Kindle fire.

I hope other magazines will start to do the same, either for free or for a small amount, so we finally get some professional dive magazine in digital versions.

Thanks to Alex Mustard for posting to Facebook about this.

Until now I have been using my Waterproff Centus neopren drysuit, which worked pretty well, but I wanted a drysuit with front zipper.

The new Kevlar drysuit is only 3,6 kg, I did choose the version where I need to wear Rock Boots, instead of build in boots in the suit.
Makes it a lot easy to put on, and the shoes sits tighter on my feet.

You can read more about the drysuit here: Information

I bought the suit at Scansub DKDivers in Roskilde.

I borrowed the pictures below from the Ursuit website.

So now we can finally dive with trimix on the unit, and do deco.

The announcement can be read here: Press Announcement or below the images of the unit.

Personally I am going for the 60 meter trimix upgrade.

Poseidon Announces
Rebreather Technical Upgrades Program

Poseidon Diving Systems announced today their program for technical upgrades of the Discovery MK VI rebreather. The program will deliver 3 key upgrades: 40M Deco, 45M Tri-Mix and 60M Tri-Mix. All current owners of Discovery MK VIs will be able to use these upgrades as they become available.

Poseidon’s tech upgrade program has been designed with 2 key objectives in mind:

1. To allow all existing and future Discovery MK VI owners to expand the performance range of their MKVIs beyond the recreational envelope, should they wish to do so
2. To enable Dive Instructors to teach both recreational and technical courses on the MK VI

40M Deco: Firmware upgrade, using air as diluent

45M Tri-Mix: Firmware upgrade, using Normoxic Tri-Mix as diluent, with a choice of helium fractions

60M Tri-Mix: Firmware and hardware upgrade, allowing for manual addition

Upgrade pricing and availability will be announced at DEMA in November, along with certification levels required for each upgrade. All current and future Discovery MK VI owners will be able to use these upgrades.

Founded in Sweden in 1958, Poseidon has been a leader in innovation, quality and safety in the diving industry for over 50 years. Poseidon’s revolutionary recreational rebreather, the Discovery MKVI, allows recreational divers to enjoy the many great benefits of rebreathers. Benefits include tripling average dive time, warm breathing gas and silent, bubble-free operation that allows divers to become part of the underwater environment and not just visitors.

Gladly he does not like it, and also looks into the slaughtering of the shark.

I hope shows like this will start to affect the politicians to help protect the sharks.

I’ll be Diving my Poseidon Discovery MKVI rebreather. Except for 2 days where i’ll be Diving trimix to 60 meter

A good way to answer that question is by showing them pictures or a video.

Today I found this great video:

Personally I think they should not have touched the dolphin at the end.

We where a group of divers, at the Kreidesee in Hemmoor, Germany.

On the 2nd and 3rd of April, I had my 4 first non training dives on my rebreather. And I am absolutly sure it is a good investment, I enjoyed every single dive.

Thanks to the rest of the divers for a great weekend in Germany.

I have been thinking about buying a Poseidon Discovery MK-VI Rebreather for a few years now. Last Wednesday I did it. I ordered the unit from Scansub DK Diver in Roskilde, Denmark.

So when the unit arrives from Sweden, I am going on an IANTD course, to learn to dive the unit.

I’ll be back with more information when I have had some experience on the unit.

The main reason I wan’t to dive a rebreather is to get longer bottom time without going into deco, and also to make less noise underwater when doing underwater photography. And of course a new toy is always fun

Doing it on New Year’s Eve must be something very special.

More information about the trip can be found here.
