Ratio Deco class in Los Angeles

[jeff_s]

Andrew Georgitsis will be in Los Angeles teaching two Ratio Deco Mini’s, one on Saturday, Sept. 29 and one on Sunday, Sept. 30.

This is a one-day, eight-hour classroom seminar. The first half is understanding the basics of Decompression. Topics include a history of where we came from (Haldan, Bulhman, Workman, Hills, ...) to where we are now (Weinke...). The second half covers the practical aspects of applying your knowledge to actual diving and implementing ratio deco in a variety of examples.

Andrew will cover shaping your deco (exponential shapes, s-curves, O2 windows) for recreational dives, long shallow dives, tech-recreational, technical, deep, and extreme long deep dives. In other words the full gambit. Bring your pen, paper, calculator, and questions.

To reserve a spot, contact Ocean Adventures Dive Company at 310-578-9391 or contact Jeff Seckendorf at 323-314-6501 or jeff@snaproll.com. Cost is $135 payable by check or cash at the class. Space is limited.

I highly recommend this class whether or not you plan to use the information right away.

The theory and understanding that I gained from this class was helpful and greatly increased my practical understanding of decompression.

Although I found it very interesting to run scenarios and plan dives to hundreds of feet, I won't be doing any of these dives without additional training. I took the class with Andrew because I wanted to let my mind start running through these scenarios in anticipation of doing these dives in the future.

Andrew is a gifted educator and made an otherwise complicated subject easy to understand and a pleasure to learn.

I've just copied this thread from the Technical Recreational Diving Specialties main forum to the Unified Team Diving & DIR forum to be sure that it gets maximum exposure to the people who would most likely benefit from this.

Since this is different that what you may see on other forums, I'll explain how this works here. On The Dive Matrix, it's OK to occasionally have the same thing posted in 2 forums. We just want to avoid something being spammed across half the board. So, the "rule of thumb" will be to limit this practice to 2 forums. Whether or not something is acceptable in multiple forums will be a judgement call made by The Dive Matrix staff. I know that's a bit subjective, but I think that it will work out best this way for both the original poster and The Dive Matrix.

I really want to attend one of these classes but that weekend won't work (buddy's wedding - tried to get him to move it but the fiancee is already 6MO pregnant so he figured he better not move it).

I figure that might be a bad weekend for a lot of divers since it is Lobster opener weekend. Please keep us informed if the dates change as I would LOVE to sign up.

Cheers,
