    75 ft out of air, What do YOU do?

    Fantastic!!! Get a Kayak for the roof of the Bimmer, and if you drive off the dock, flip the car and you'll be all set!!! ;-)

    Stop the Madness!!

    Maybe you should listen and ask questions instead. What makes you think they ain't right? You may find that they're trying to save you from making a mistake, which they wish someone had done for them. After all, most all of them owned a BC first, then chose a backplate...

    75 ft out of air, What do YOU do?

    Spare Air is an equipment choice, not just a procedural one. If you know the realities and limitations of a SA, fine. If I thought I needed a fully redundant air source, I'd get a pony, myself (I have several). An AL30 is soooooo much more versatile. Many who have a SA think...

    75 ft out of air, What do YOU do?

    That's pretty slippery, Doc, kinda like how DIR divers never seem to be DIR when they die. With that logic, you wouldn't need a dive computer, or any signalling devices, or an octopus. Or a spare tire. Or a seat belt. Or a fire extingisher. :-) I find it interesting...

    The OK sign

    I'd vote for the dorky new diver. If he's overly gregarious, tell 'im to wave. An OK is a serious signal, not to be over-used. If someone rams into you, they owe you an OK. If you don't get one returned, I'd stop them till they did. Maybe they're narced -as well- as...

    75 ft out of air, What do YOU do?

    I've gone over 890 dives without needing a Spare Air. I make fun of 'em, like I make fun of people that drive BMWs. But if you want either one, that's fine by me. The reason I advocate breathing a BC/Wing, is because you already have it anyway. It's an already existing option that everybody...

    Wait a minute

    Ask around, I'm a hysterically funny guy. But we were referencing the threats on Rec.scuba.

    taking a non diver

    I do it all the time, at the local swimmin hole. I have a dive that I do on weekends to cool off, or to empty a tank on the way to the LDS. I frequently let kids swim in waist deep water on my 7' hose, never weighted. I've towed an adult passenger or two, but never weighted, and...
