How to Safely Dive Shipwrecks: PADI Wreck Diver Certification
I don't know what will happen, or if anything will happen. But if something does, I'd rather be the guy with a gun than the guy without one.

Everyone please read this carefully. Eric802 is correct. - DK-Prof, 1/27/15

I was supposed to dive it in April and got blown out.

Vandengburg is a cool dive.

I dove on it in 2012.

It's petty good he does a lot on the history of diving.

Ugh.

He's absolutely full of shit in this video.

The only thing I agree with him (beside the historical facts presented as background info) is that DIN is better in almost every conceivable way.

What he's saying (namely resorts = yoke, so get yoke) used to be true 20 years ago, but almost every place now has convertible pro valves.

If not, keep a DIN-to-yoke adapter in your kit bag.

I train my students in DIN from day one.  I also train them with primary & secondary second stages (the second being around around your neck), instead of octopii.

Get with the times, Ian.
