People actually thinking you can be 130kg and "solid muscle", yeah, nah. Not without steroids at least, or being something like 2m20 (like some NBA guys). Average Joe is not going to be 130kg at 1m75 without having a large amount of fat. Interestingly, those are pretty much the stats of Phil...

I think I'd do those on the surface, but hey, that's just me!

@Umuntu , that sounds very different of "every reg you buy has to be brought back for tuning".

Yeah, nah. The specs they are adjusted to at the factory are the same they are adjusted to after service. So unless you actually believe everybody tunes his own regs, a brand new reg is expected to deliver the claimed performances.

You don't need a pool to use a snorkel and a mask, a bucket of water to put your face in is enough. At least that's what I understood.

To the contrary, I damn well know where we're posting, and that's why things should be explained, and that "let's not get too technical"-bs should stay at the door, IMO. It's a formulation that is very comparable to "trust me I'm right". And again, some agencies allow 1.6 as bottom mix.

Well, I just explain to people that air rises. Usually that's enough for people to understand what to do...

Yikes. Please get in the science behind it. If you're 1% off, you're gonna be like 1m off in MOD. Where it *might* become an issue is *if* you're somehow able to reach past CNS times, which are also largely conservative. Some organizations happily let you use 1.6 as bottom mix.

I'm pretty sure that's not gonna change anything, but I can't be bothered doing the maths.

Answer that, when you see what people DIVE with, is rubbish imo, and pushed by a guy that can't stand that his wife wasn't as good as she said she was and/or had a medical issue...

Doesn't seem to happen on my linux (firefox 56). Will have to check which versions of firefox and chrome I have on my windows install... It's still impossible to highlight any text though, I guess it's related to one just has to open the source, copy-paste, and do a bit of cleaning up, it's a...

You'd be amazed. I've had someone pull the copyright card on me for putting a video of the guy harassing wildlife on youtube. Didn't want to go too far on it, so I just uploaded it somewhere else afterwards. I'm going to suggest a "technical" thing about your articles, maybe that way I'll...

Out of an air compressor, that's rather unlikely. However asking air out of a nitrox compressor, it's possible I guess.

France has a scuba police, which actually look if you went deeper than certified for (only with shops) :popcorn:. They're diving policemen, but I don't think those are the suspects you were thinking about. VIDEO. Les gendarmes peuvent vous contrôler… même sous l'eau :bounce:

On the other hand, just one is enough.

Oh cool, now I can go to people and say mask around their neck is a sign of distress and that they need help. Thanks for that!

I'd have told him to come save me, and just drown that d*ckhead. I had kind of the same from my AOW instructor: Him - "If I see the mask on your forehead once more ..." Me - "Well what are you gonna do if it's there?" End of discussion Yes, "MOF" is stupid because eventually you lose your...

I never said I knew, I said they're supposed to have a procedure for it, as they can be sold in Europe and therefore need to comply with the regulations. I also haven't heard of any issue with people using carbon tanks. Anyway, that's off topic.

Well, isn't that what carbondive sells?

How many classes to get to trimix on OC? Not sure why you'd consider travelling and accomodation for ccr but not for oc. It's also obvious that when you practice deep air, ie you don't use what makes OC safe but expensive, you're not gonna get the costs equal as fast.
