#but THIS is my jam

[squidsinashirt]

This might be a little bit specific but I’m hoping you can help!!

I’ve done my padi course and a few dives and am thinking about doing some tech diving stuff so I can wreck dive!! Where do I start! Thank u!!

Woah, that’s a switch up from being threatened by the Chaos Crew or being asking about my brothers’ love lives. Was a bit worried when I read specific there but this is better!

My long answer would be much longer than this answer box permits, and would probably take about three days to write.

Congrats on your PADI and I hope you’re enjoying yourself!

Tech diving, wreck diving etc is way more complicated than the open water stuff. To be honest, I’d say you should give it a good while of getting familiar with ‘normal’ diving before you attempt anything a little more challenging.

Tech diving brings in a whole new host of challenges - learning to use a closed circuit (takes a bit of practice not to try and drown!) first. Gases you are using - are you gonna use Heliox? Tri? If you’re gonna use Trimix, what sats? (Personally I prefer a lower Tri because my eyes get a bit fuzzy, but that’s individual). That’ll depend on your dive and your bottom out time. Are you gonna swap gases for your decomp back up?

Fun fact - you can mix just about any Trimix in Thunderbird Four because she’s the best because I never know what depth we might end up rescuing from. Wish it was always as easy as strapping a rebreather onto people and sending them to the big green birdie in the sky (good tv editing there). No point in rescuing people just to give them the bends!

You need to be confident in calculating your decompression times dependent on what’s gone on, and what you’re dealing with. You need to be happy you’ve put some fail safes in too - don’t want to suddenly be over because you drop your camera! If you’re heading for around 45m, decomp time is roughly equal to bottom time. For each 3m either way, add or subtract 5 minutes. Thats a rough rule of thumb to get your number crunching started.

Make sure you’re diving with somebody approved and experienced. Can’t tell you how many rescues we’ve had of… people who are not. That’s the good PR answer.

So eh… yeah. Short answer is - safe dives, have fun. Dive with a great instructor with lots of local experience, and head for somewhere easy going to start with!

Avoid: inside sinking cargo ships, collapsing coral reefs, Jupiter’s moons and the lost city of Atlantis.

And if your name is Fischler, you didn’t read any of this.

This past month a group of my talented friends (check out the guys on their socials here: VeePlusCtrl, @martvy-jpeg,) and I have been working on a short horror game based around christian iconography for a monthly game jam! We ourselves are not very religious at all but the christian trauma made us think about some interesting horror elements. Here are some of my concepts and sprites I did for the game :-)

We are very excited to share the game with you and hope you enjoy this little experience!

The issue that these vampires deal with all the time and consistently throughout the books is the fact that you never die. You never know, really, what is the meaning of anything. And religion, throughout the ages, 'cause these are old creatures, is the main catechism that kind of keeps running at them.
