No Scooter???? Perhaps you need a refresher course!

question for those who route under the shoulder strap when using a plate mounted argon bottle. Why not run it under the waist strap instead? It would make gearing up easier as you dont have to connect the inflator hose before putting your arms through the shoulder straps.

6 ft argon bottle mounted to the backplate - Run it under the waist strap and directly to the inflator.

And I havn't been to Bonaire which is why I put Cayman at the top. But I think in the best traditions of some people on the boards we need to have a big 30 post fight about it, so here goes... "Bob, how dare you put Bonaire above Cayman islands! Yo mama!"

Oh goody do I get to wade into this thread? I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Coz. The current diving was a lot of fun and definitely something I really haven't gotten a chance to do much of, but it was the people that I dove with that made things so enjoyable. The dive op was first class...

dont forget the weight lifting and lots and lots of stair-master. ;)

You would also get to do the "neener neener" dance. Which is always a plus. :)

No soup for you! Next!

Awsome! I can be a caretaker for the condo if you want. :D

Oh yes. The hook has been set deep.

Honestly, I dont know if any report can legitimately do them justice. Words fail me. After surfacing in the cenotes I was too awed to speak. We all have heard about the seven natual wonders of the world or the seven underwater wonders of the world. In my mind, the Cenote's of the yucatan...

She might not remember anything being narced at the 20' depth. :D

Only person I ever saw who looked ready to go to a pickup basketball game right after diving. When you go for cave class next year I think you should freak him out by showing up the first day with a skateboard. :)

Oh... didnt we already cover that about 50 posts ago? :)

Beyond immediatly giving the OOA diver gas I dont know if I would point to any one response as a "correct" default answer. It would really depend on the situation where the emergency occured. For example if the OOA occurred right when I was at rock bottom, I might want to accelerate the deeper...

Well from what it was described to me, they were already continuing the drill when the team was broken so clearly some form of communication to them is needed. Ok this is where we are talking at cross purposes. I never said to hang around to wait for cleanup and to ascend as a team. It may...

I wouldnt really beat yourself up to much though. That is why we train in shallow water... because it is much safter and the stake are lower. Guess where the tech 1 guys start their class? 30 feet of water Guess where the tech 2 guys start their class? 30 feet of water Guess where the...

Ok I see we are on basically the same page. Just different meathods of communication, end result is the same. Communicate your intentions to the two doing the drill and then surface to help the other buddy. When I talk about ending the drill, I would indicate to them to cut the drill, then...

Team numbers can change all the time. They tend to be more job specific then people specific. Ideally everyone on the team can accomplish every job and will switch as the need arises.
