12 #, the weight is under my crotch strap
When us old guys talk about our low SAC, we're not making it up.Well now you are just bragging.
Having seen any number of panicked divers, I can tell you that the first thing they do is get rid of the mask (by shoving it up on their forehead) and regulator.
Anyone who says that a mask on forehead ISN'T a sign of panic is lying.
Well, air's "safer" since less ox-tox risk if you go deep compared to nitrox.
But nitrox, within its Max depth limit, is sort of safer in that there's less narcosis risk, huh? Aren't we, at say 125' on N-28, less of a narc risk than on air?
In the context of recreational diver, is it OK to have all non-ditchable weight you are saying?
They don't tend to push you face down on the surface??
What you say "the first thing they (panicked diver) do is get rid of the mask (by shoving it up on their forehead) may be true. That does not mean that every diver that has pushed their mask to their forehead is panicked. Your logic is faulty. I do it all the time and I have never been panicked. This is a dangerous assumprtion.
