Pesticides and fertilizers have created the longest living, healthiest human populations in history. Forests are a renewable cash crop like corn or beans. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Exactly. Buy airplane ticket. Look down. What overpopulation? (Don't do this over Hong Kong.) Like famine, it is really a distribution problem. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I know a boat captain/diver who lost part of a lung in a m/c accident. Still dives the Atlantic. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I get it. A rule that covers every situation. I'm sure throwing a life preserver to a guy who couldn't even reach his inflator would've made a huge difference. Reads to me that the crew thought it best to get in the water fast instead of screwing around with life preservers. It's called...

My wife successfully pretends that my Master Diver Card makes me a real hard guy. My cave instructor failed to buy into that...

I had a dip tube clog leaving approximately 1700 psi unusable in the tank. I had a regulator freeze shut. I had a regulator first stage freeflow that emptied the tank. I had an inflator o-ring extrude. Redundant air is good. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I do not carry an octo in addition to the pony. I keep the pony reg on a necklace. It is primarily for me but if my wife needs air for some reason she will get the 7' hose, I get the pony reg and we will exit together. No different than the same event in backmount or sidemount. Sent from...

Rainbow reef is set up to use their rental tanks preloaded on the boat. Anything else is difficult. Sidemount rigging will need to be quick change. If your buddy is ow only they may limit you to 30' reefs. I don't think they accomodate spearfishing. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Necklace works great. You always know where it is. This is the same configuration you will use with doubles or sidemount. Donation should be the reg in your mouth, you go to the necklaced reg. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I believe you are correct. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I am pretty sure most accidents can be attributed to lack of air. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Never had that problem with the screws. I back mount a lot with mine. No adapter. Maybe replace them with plastic screws? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

And the Great Lakes are dead or on fire. Oh wait! The diving there is better than ever. We will run out of oil by 1980. Oh wait! We're still running on oil in 2013. We will soon be in another ice age because of air pollution. Oh wait! We're worried about global warming. We're worried...

They don't even let you bring a light. The price of lead bearing ore isn't worth diving for in any case. You would be better off scavenging dive weights, batteries and wheel weights in quarries. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I would never rely on a buddy for a life or death solution. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

So....who carries a Nautilus Lifeline strapped to their pony... I mean their unbalanced sidemount tank....I mean their remotely located independent twinset tank...I mean their stage bottle....yeah, that's the ticket! Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
