GUE Cave 3
I've put an article in the download section about a GUE Cave 3 class I attended in 2004.
It was published in GUE's DIR Quest magazine the following year but a lot of you don't subscribe to that,
so I thought it could be some fun reading for you.

Update time!
I'm now devoting time to update this site with new info.
After having contributed articles and posts to several international diving forums I intend to put that information here and expand on it on a regular basis.
Hope you'll be back to read some of it soon!
I've also added a way for you to help me recoup some of my expenses keeping this site alive.
I hope you won't feel offended by it but rather as a way to show your appreciation for the info here.
You'll find a small section at the bottom of each page where you can help out by donating something through PayPal. That's all.
And as always if you have any suggestions or question that you want me to write about, please drop me an email at pst@telia.com.
Thanks,
Peter

What is this site all about?
Well, it's about scuba diving and the Doing It Right system.
How to have fun diving while doing it as safely as possible!
You may however find information here, about dive procedures that may actually kill you without proper training.
This site isn't in any way affiliated with any manufacturer, organisation or commercial interest and it represents my opinion and nothing else.
Enjoy!
