The worms are likely to be snakes by the time you get back haha!:)

Oh yeah, this young lady DM was smoking for sure...;)

I use a 60gal shop compressor tank as my pony with my Steel 100s. Is that big enough? ...just messing with you - Friday coffee morning you know haha :)

Huh. Pretty cool! I'd like to dive that and see it in action. I get the concept wrt 1/3 etc and a torp vs a SMB. Waterskiing! Yes as you described it, I now remember doing a drift off WestPalmBeach and the DM had a float, but she just flew by us underwater - in fact I thought it was...

No I won't call you cynical, but what I will say is that everything we do in scuba (being a self regulated industry) could fall in your comments above - you don't need any scuba certs if you have enough experience diving. But we get them anyway to "prove" to anyone that we do have a level of...

Similarly, I'd like to hear just what conditions towing a torpedo is good for. I've never seen it done and can't quite grasp doing it in any kind of current - even with 200' of line on my SMB, if theres a current, it goes horizontal long before reaching the surface (deployment depth depending...

You've got to be kidding me. :confused: If your left side screen didn't say "Moderator" I'd say you were a troll...

For me, my main buddy is my wife, and sometimes she just gets tuckered out and wants to sit out a dive, or maybe the seas have picked up and she doesn't have the stamina for a surface slog or ladder/anchor chain fight. So I splash by myself, or if I triple up, I stay near, but not really...

Where as shark's intentions are "misunderstood" by the general population, it doesn't strike me that gator's are....

I think we ought to terminate this thread now. Mia copa made, mia copa accepted (by this diver). Can we move on now please?

I guess its not taught to look at your SPG when you take the check breaths to see if the pressure goes down....in 2 breaths you'll see it if the tank is closed.

20k hr pilots crash their airplanes in clear skies; 25yr truckers jack-knife; life long farmers get eaten by their combines. $hit just happens to even the best people.

Maybe I'm being simplistic, but a couple of good breaths off my reg before I roll off is the last item on my departure checklist. Is it not for everyone?

Dan, I'll for one retract some of my flame and say that your descent technique is quite refined, but I'll also hazard a guess that its one you've perfected amongst a small cadre of friends and captains over a fairly large number of dives - a significant caveat up front probably would have...

I'm Padi, but I'll not take the PADI course - taking the TDI/SDI "solo" course next month. Cost is the same, but the name makes the difference to me. Maybe its semantics, but I think PADI missed the mark on this no matter if the same stuff is taught or not. Just not going to argue with a...

Just as a point of order, I think you don't want to ask for the "best" of anything around SB as it just causes food fights. What you want is peoples recommendations on good experiences - which is of course what you meant :)

(without wasting space of copying the whole thing).... Eloquently said Bob :). Not something I'm very good at....

If you are a PADI Master Diver with 200-499 dives and you have to ask SB if you should do this, then you are not ready to do this.

BS. Again. Dan, you blew the same BS last year on a similar thread about lines. Despite you having dove "all over", please go dive the mid-atlantic where we anchor into the wrecks in a current. Negative entry on the stern downline to a granny line and to the anchor line to the wreck ~100+'...

Well I can't say that I've found that to be true, but maybe your neck is flexible enough that when you tilt it back your mask face is horizontal. In anycase, one thing is for sure true about teaching - not every method works on every person. So keep all of them, no matter how often or...
