The arch of the blue hole

So all I need is twins? I'll have to wait as I'm not getting the wing until next year

And to do all the courses to allow you to do it properly and safely.

SD... reckon we could score ourselves a place in the record books for the longest distance between a diver and their support cover?

I had your back, buddy... even if I was teaching a bunch of 6 year olds at the time...! :-)

Sounds good to me!

SD, I did bells/blue hole last time I was there and as sally said great dive! but.....there's that arch.....tempting me....I WANT to go down, see it, weigh it up, see IF I could do it!?

I'd be interested in what training/equipment you had before trying the dive, especially safety cover? hazards specific to it,? How long where you 'in the tube' for?

I've already made that mental note of doing it one day - although I won't be rushing it

The one thing that all the newer divers should remember SD has been trained in DEEP AIR diving

just remember folks Diving = Training =depth = more TRAINING

No training =

As AG says I have done several courses. Claire will be able to tell you all about the courses required. I did my training with Harry Heyward in Dahab. I reckon she will know him.
