I believe his exact words were: "What moron posted this?" Already answered, and not the point of the discussion anyway. I only go by what you provide. You've provided information from two cites that was totally incorrect, as I have plainly and clearly documented. Like I've said...

Please explain what information from the original post leads you to believe this incident was caused by lack of experience. Please give your opinion of the experience level of the diver (OW, AOW, ect) based on the information you read. I've asked both these questions of Mike, and he...

You're not very bright. My recurring theme, throughout this argument, is that divers should train and educate themselves to be able to make their own decisions. Mike says, if you're not doing it the way I do it, you're wrong. Your reading comprehension is on par with his. If...

No, Mike, I don't think I can. This is beginning to look like a Monty Python skit. That's because you never answer the questions. Besides, your questions are less than direct. My questions: "Will an END of 100' help with a narc at 84 ft?" (asked three times, and finally...

"The most notable incedent I am aware of is outlined in (Ithink it was) "Caverns Measurless to Man" by Sheck Exley. From memory (please don't anyone sue me if I have details wrong and by all means look it up yourself) Mr. watts conducted a deep dive with a student (who I think was like 16 years...

If you're considering the Keys, this is my regular South Keys stop: http://www.reef-divers.com/ Nice thing about Jim's place is that he's 1/2 hour from Key West. He has decent wreck and reef dives 15 minutes from the dock, has lodging recommendations and arrangements, and runs a 6-pack...

For all the reasons people point at me and laugh, I'd just as soon it not be because of my Hot Pink dive gear.

You need to read up on the cause and effect of spatial disorientation. Regardless, whether or not he was narced, no training you endorse would have prepared him to handle that particular part of his episode. As I already said, once his mistake was made, for whatever reason, he obviously handled...

My, what an interesting article. Thanks, DA. You know what they say. "If you ain't the lead dog, the view stays pretty much the same."

Good idea, I just already had the bag to use from my BC, and that area is right where my (real big) butt connects to the rig. A wear and tear area. The bag is difficult to fold nicely (80# Halcyon) and at times, I substitute a fold up dive flag in the same pouch (although I haven't since my BC...

I mounted mine below, in a Dive Rite bag (see picture).

Mo2vation, Some people find difficulty in removing a full size lift bag from the back pad. I mounted mine below, in a Dive Rite bag (see picture). This worked out well for me. One thing I noticed when swtiching to a BP/W was lack of pocket space. I don't often dive dry...

It's the Cricket Bat part that everybody loves most..... THANK YOU SIR! MAY I HAVE ANOTHER? :-)

I think a little professional courtesy isn't too much to ask, especially to a fellow diving professional. I never said Mike was pulling this out of thin air. I did say that if you choose to malign someone to make a point (especially in a public forum), you should be accurate. Also that you...

Once again, the arbitrary limit. Let's make sure that little rule stands in the way of superior training. What "skills" should they develop that are relevent here? What is your indication that these skill were lacking? It's AOW, it's a -class- on skill building. They're...

First, that was a slippery side step, but my point was: "This does show one really cool thing though: If the original poster had a $1000 dollar trimix ticket, and a END of 100, let alone 130, HE STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN NARCED. Once again showing the foolishness of an arbitrary limit...

I notice you didn't comment on the "narced at 84 ft" point, or on Rooster 1's potential class. Did you have an opinion on that?

I was being facetious, for which I apologize. I know it's not the techs, and that there is no Cold Water specialty. But a free flowing reg, especially in cold weather (if there was a mention of surface temp, I missed it) is not alarming, nor does it indicate a lack of training. Now, if they...
