After a long weekly course and some dives I decided to dedicate my vacation to it. My underwater summer with rEvo was born.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

After the rEvo<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than two months have passed since that week of training, made up of lessons, configurations, exercises and many, inevitable mistakes.<\/p>\n

Since that week I have taken rEvo with me to Otranto and Calabria for a couple of dives during theXR Wreck Tour 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then for about ten dives on the Portofino Promontory.<\/p>\n

All with the assistance of my instructor<\/a> or a more experienced buddy than me. With the need to have a supervisor during the preparation of the machine and the security of always being able to ask for support whenever I felt the need. With someone I could blindly trust underwater if there were scenarios that could have put me in difficulty. With someone who controlled my set-up and could give me feedback.<\/p>\n

The lack of confidence didn’t make me feel independent. How many times have I regretted the open circuit, the ease with which I assembled the equipment and the safety with which I dived and descended deeply.<\/p>\n

Arriving at the diving center, an hour and a half before the scheduled dive time, to assemble the machine made me feel like a novice diver. The tightness test of the corrugated pipe and the calibration made me anxious. Consumption had become very high. Underwater all my attention was focused on hearing the noise of the HDV or the solenoid and checking that the partial pressure of my Shearwater remained constant. As soon as my computer signaled me that I would have to face decompression, I immediately thought about going back up to avoid having to face too long stages. My set-up suffered immediately.<\/p>\n

It was time to take matters into our own hands. It was time to progress and go back to being an autonomous diver.<\/p>\n

So I decided to dedicate the month of August to rEvo.<\/p>\n
