I know a lot of you guys are vehemently opposed to spearing on scuba, and this is pretty much the same thing. BUT, since i do have a hookah unit i figure i have to try it at least once.
So do you have any tips for doing such a thing? Will the noise of the hookah scare the fish away? What about the bubbles?
And some questions on the compressed air. I do have my open water certification, but they don't really cover some of the things i want to know.
Since I'm going to be diving to a max of 40 feet (about 12.5 meters), how much does the compressed air matter?
Do I still have to calc the dive time from a table at such a shallow depth?
If so, how shallow do I have to be to take the bends out of the equation?
Is it safe to hold your breath on compressed air if you are at a steady depth? (I.e. the ocean floor)
I have two egressor belts with pony bottles on them. The only thing I don't like about them is how cumbersome they are. How dangerous would it be to dive without them?
I hope some of you can help. And don't worry, unless lots of people tell me otherwise, I am going to take every safety precaution I can think of. I like to breathe.
