    Horizontal Ascents...

    Ascending: vertical, horizonal or some hybrid mix of the two. The important point is: Be Aware- of where you are, of what you are doing, and where you're going. And I'll go ahead and add: of where your buddy is, of what he is doing, and where he's going. Jarhead

    Horizontal Ascents...

    I apologize. My comment was not straight forward. My understanding is you should do the horizontal ascent facing your dive buddy. On a stationary ascent line, with any current, this is near impossible. You end up side-by-side holding the line or stacked vertically holding the line. A...

    15' Safety Stop vs Minimum Deco

    recently in the Ask Dr. Decompression forum and Bruce Wienke himself (Mr. RGBM) got involved. It's well worth going back and reading. Mr. Wienke (I hope I'm spelling his name right) included links to some PDF papers that been published. Based on that, I'll stand with the deep stops. Couple...
