Deeper Diving.... Still legal in the RS?
Hi Duncan,
I have a Suunto Mosquito and I love it, It really has helped me to be a better diver (Looking at my profiles on the PC later scared the buhjeebies out of me a couple of times - "Geez, was I ascending REALLY that fast?!?"). :duh
I looked in some of the taravel catlogs and noticed that there is a clause in the next year (2003) catalogs stating that the maximum depth for non-Advanced divers (like my wife) is 18 meters and the maximum depth for someone with Advanced certification (like me but I would rather buddy with my wife anyway) is 30 meters (about 93 feet). This has been written into Eygptian law! :hmm I have heard / read stories that dive operators would check the computers/depth gauges of their divers and, if the limits were exceeded, that was it, your diving with them was over and there were NO refunds. :rcard
I don't know how true this is or if it was just a crock (the ending of the diving) but one thing for sure is that the major German Travel firms (i. e. TUI, Thomas Cook, and Neckermann) all have this paragraph in their catalogs where they offer diving as well as accomodations...
