Hi there my name is Rob I am a Wellington DM with Splash Gordons,ex Island Bay Divers,I have been diving since my cert date in 1987 as a 12 year old and still havent grown up...
My diving has gone through many different evolutions,only within the last two years have I become actively involved in diving and training.
Being a 7mm long john 16kg weight belt diver for years I never really dived enough to realize that perhaps there was a few things wrong with 45o trim and bashing the bottom of the ocean with my Mares Volo's.
(well possibly not that bad,but definately not that good.)
I have discovered a new style and method of diving and I am enjoying it greatly,its always nice to be dry in the 10 degree Wellington waters,also have been doing a great deal of nightdiving with the Wellington based crew NIGHDIVERS99 and I have been loving it....nightdiving is definately something I particularly enjoy.
Which hsa infact pushed me towards some of the other darker environments,Caves and Wrecks and have discovered some new fabulous dive environs.
Dive gear I dive Halcyon B/P W after a lot of arsing about with numerous different types of back inflation set ups,dry suit as I mentioned I have an Otter Tri-lam(when its dry
),I have been recently diving twins to get myself in "trim" for the July GUE-F course and am greatly looking forward to this.
I also enjoyed reading Flippers experience on his course on here,nice.
Well thats a bit of a rant.
Regards Rob
