The danger factor of shooting a bag is easily mitigated with a little training and practice. I learned how to shoot a bag by practicing the; deploy, rig, inflate, and release method at an astounding depth of 10'. You can practice this drill all day long with no deco obligation and you'll quickly...

That is priceless.:rofl3:

I didn't oversimplify things. You asked for an example/evidence of a diver who did everything by the book. I gave it to you. GI3's observations and Bill Gavins first hand account are supplied as evidence. If you can find fault with Parker Turner....then you are a better diver than anyone I know.

Yeah, it's a girly man tank but....:mooner:

In September I completed IANTD and NSS-CDS Cavern under Jim Wyatt. The required configuration was Hogarthain per the NSS-CDS book. I was good to go except Jim moved my left hip D-ring back about 2". Exposure suit was dependent upon current conditions. I did it in a 5mil because it was kinda hot...

I've heard that women are far too dainty to dive doubles.;) I have a new CLX450. It's waterproof and FLAME RETARDANT!:14:

Shiny is a good thing, black is good also.;) Tobin shipped my wing out on Monday.:eyebrow: My new DUI arrived Wed.:eyebrow: Life is good!:D

Touche!

I'm partial to my mk25/s600's but they are a bit pricey. However, Dive Rite makes some very affordable regs. I have a rg2010 2nd stage that breathes very well. I think I gave about $200 for it new.

I'm a towering 5'11" and the 5' hose is way too short for me. I immediately switched to a 7' hose and I think it was rjack that got me to stow the hose under my knife (I didn't have a can light). It worked perfectly for me. When I did begin using a can light I had already developed the correct...

Would someone please make Tobin get off of ScubaBoard just long enough for him to Go out to his warehouse and ship me the Torus 57 that I just ordered.:D

Bamamedic2.0, that's a good question. The correct answer is; You may not enter an overhead enviornment without the proper training. In accepted accident analysis the #1 cause is "Lack of training". That's strike one. Care to go for strike two?

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors HID light. Man, oh man! I AM a sinner! I checked out the 35W Salvo at their shop, and to me it looks like a GREAT primary. The only thing I don't like about the 35W is that the light head is so big. I prefer the smaller head on the 21W. Other than that, the...

Dear God!!! I can only pray that you attend a Florida or Alabama "Collage". :eyebrow:

I love the Ball room as well. It's hard to forget my first overhead experience. I wish I was there right now.

Well there was that one time where my gym shorts came off with my wetsuit while everyone on the entire planet just happened to be watching. And then there was that one memorable dive where we surfaced about 50 yards from shore. I took my mask off, dunked my face in the water, and when I opened...

I really wish a responsible adult (read Moderator) would take this thread into the back room and put a bullet in it.

I was most impressed with his "thumbing a dive without a thumb thread".

Those are three absolutely great write ups! I'm so glad you had fun!
