Re: Double Dip FAQS

I've got one about Lanyards. I was just reading over the AIDA rules on it.

I don't have one but I was looking at making one. Not sure how it will actually turn out. Any advice on this?

Thanks,
Morg

Re: Double Dip FAQS

Yep... buy one. Far far easier, Sam will have some for sale.

They get heavily scrutinised at some comps and sometimes judges with big arms try and rip them apart.

In any case it's not just a lanyard to pull up a 70-90kg person, it's the 70-90kg plus all the water resistance plus it's going to get a hell of a jolt when the counterbalance catches up to the lanyard.

Cheers,
Ben

Re: Double Dip FAQS

MEDICALS - MUST be signed by a doctor to say you are fit to dive in the past 12 months - there is no self certification for competitions

Sorry - its AIDA Rules

Sam

Re: Double Dip FAQS

Just a reminder that according to AIDA Rules you need to bring with you:

Passport
Medical - signed by a doctor
Lanyard

Feargus - did you join the BFA yet?

These will be checked at the briefing

Thanks

Sam

Re: Double Dip FAQS

Hi Sam yeah my name is back up on the site now dont know what the hold up was but i am there in name anyway. Sam will i need the bfa card or is the fact that its on the web enough? I e-mailed martyn about it but not sure if the card will be out in time next week. He was away the past few weeks.I am heading for the ferry on Thursday night to catch it Friday morning.

Re: Double Dip FAQS

That's fine as it is, no need for the card

see you Friday - if you get there early, we'll probably be at the dive centre so call in

Re: Double Dip FAQS

Two questions Sam:

1) Will the floods affect the comp?

2) At the briefing can we all have access to a no-fins tag with the band around it so we know what to do with it once we grab it from the bottom?

Cheers,
Ben

Re: Double Dip FAQS

1) yes, you all have to dive 5m deeper (true answer - not as far as I know, I've asked Darren but not heard back yet)

2) yes, its just a wrist sized loop of bungee but you can try it
