If you learned Russian on school you likely are/were living in the east part of Germany.
PM me when you're here and we have a beer and maybe as well some dives.

Some people here talk about diving as of being an experienced diver but don't show to have real knowledge about it.
It's for them probably only to give others the opinion that they are quite macho people who even dive (sometimes ).
I find it so curious to read everytime again that people don't really answer to questions.
I ask myself WHY ? (no, I do lie now: I have a good idea why they do so )
I still did not read where and how often Mr. TB (or is it indeed Yabs ?) did dive in the Philippines (I asked him for it) to figure out that maybe he only dived in 1 or 2 places which were (during those 3 dives he made there) like "dirty bath tubs" dive 30 years, of which 25 years as being a 2* CMAS instructor.
I'm not telling this to boost, but purely to say that people may believe that maybe I know a little bit of diving and maybe I did dive around the world a little bit in those many years.
If other people don't come up (if asked) with their knowledge and experience of diving but only give evidence by their reactions to be 'not-yet-that experienced' than it's better not to react at all to them.
On another thread we had this discussion earlier (indeed Rhoody).
The most experienced divers are surely not divers who have a preference for only a few dive locations in the world.
I guess that that has MAYBE something to do with the differences of the many places: Ice diving is great (I tell you), wreck diving is even thrilling in bath tub dirty water like the North Sea, cave dives are unique, night dives are so special, drift dives are not only for lasy divers ............shall I go on ?
Would like to know how much experience some have, since they talk a lot (like me now ) but give more impresssion to be novices.
Drift dives are not only for lasy divers

Jelly!!!!!!! are you talkin but me.

B.L., ...hahaha.... a bit maybe (joking).
You have seen yourself now on the video, so no need to comment anymore
I hope we make more dives together the next time (with a not too strong current otherwise I have to leave my video equipment in the boat and can't record your swimming style )

Yes!!
Just be sure that you're not the first commenting my swimming style.But at the time we dive together I didnt have my old "power plana"s. So I had some problems with adjusting to my what in DIR circles is named Frog Kick and Helicopter Turns.Which I have been doing a long time(20+years) before "Doing It Right" was popular.But in general I belong to the DIW guys. A typical DIMOW type.

Picture from Norwegian championships Spearfishing 1996 top 3 contestants.Me with a shared third place.At the center front.And the flatfish(Piggvar "Psetta maxima") still holds the Norwegian record today.

Never seen that in my dives in the North Sea.

Well. We are big fish eaters. Have catched more than 100kilos of Sea Wolf this year. And probably will run empty in the freezer before next season starts.

But with the Piggvar it was nice that the catch was in competition with the Norwegian elite spearfishers. And I believe its the only long time record set in the competitions history.
In the competitioning I had the disadvantage of being very "hard headed" (ME!!!!!) towards big sices of the fish.Points counting fish started at 500 grams.And also flattype (not pelagic) fishes only get 50% of pelagic fish points/weight.So my smallest fish was 900gr.I am not able to fire at the small ones. Inheritage of my Scuba Dive hunting.
I still have it that way and in diving I set rules for minimum weight of every kinda species I hunt. No child abuse.
