Hey - all I can say is - maybe you need to not dive with strokes then - but that is a different discussion - AND as I think I mentioned somewhere - this is my opinion - nothing more - and my buddies are anything but idiots. I guess I know better now than to dive with you. Cheers, Big T

Halcyon reel and delrin spools here as well - best stuff out there... Big T

Gauges on right arm - Compass on left arm - I guess the pressure gauge is mounted to a 24" hose - just to your hip - that is all you need. Big T

Ok - I guess I'm way out there - but the way I see it - Your buddy is your redundant air source - why bring bottles of this stuff when you got a whole tank next to you? Now if you think he is not going to have enough gas for the two of you - you are obviously not doing your planning right...

Well, the weirdest thing was a credit card - had a womans name on it though, so much for trying to keep her from spending money I guess... The womens underwear I'm still looking for the owner for... Apply in person ready to dive. Big T

Started SSI, AOW was so scary I brought my own buddy to class dives - then did TDI and wondered if there should not be some math somewhere... I have now found GUE and these guys actually want me to learn something - THANK YOU. Big T

WEll, uhm - I use my 7' hose for all applications - I have no reason to change as it is the sweetest setup ever... as far as added drag and snagging - uhm - yeah - I'm also really worried about the ferraris suffering from bad aerodynamics... It seems to me that before anyone states that...

Hey Doc, I'm getting my physical pretty soon and would like to have them set me up for a PFO test as well - I wonder if you can tell me which PFO test is the proper one? I know there are at least three different tests and not all are giving the right results. I basically would like to...

Hey guys - No worries - I'm not interested in anyone who "can get" halcyon gear - I live next door to a top 5 halcyon dealer - it's not a gear issue but a philosophy issue - I was looking for a shop or instructor who teaches according to the philosophy - preferably a GUE instructor, but there...

Yup, it works pretty good - be careful - I may have other insightful things you might want to adopt - pretty soon you will have a long hose too... <GRIN> I'm glad this works for you - I think it is pretty natural. Big T

Bingo - Why do you think long hose divers seek out each other - it's simply due to the fact that we know that even if you do not have all the training, you probably have the mindset and a desire to learn... Big T

Roak is partly correct - the philosophy taught is that you in case of an OOA - you swim with touch contact - the OOA diver sticks his/her elbow out and the donating diver grabs this - touch signals is used to direct the OOA diver. Also, the OOA diver should be holding on to the hose of the...

Thanks TM I think the guy already has some of the TDI deco stuff done - but I'm sure you can find a common ground there. I'll forward his email to you. Big T

No reply yet - but I will keep on trying - sending another local of yours over that way too - he has been going to FL for his deco training, thinking there was no local facilities... Big T

Well, if it is insulting - then that is a good thing - because that might get you to up the ante a bit - however - I will hold on to my opinion that the agency does not matter - after I posted this we talked about this stuff and I think a modification is that regardless of agency - the...

Thanks Mike, I sent Ron a note. Thanks Bill - I think this Ron guy is the answer from what I can tell and getting halcyon gear is not an issue for me... BigT

Thanks Mike - That is precisely what I'm looking for. Big T I hear you are coming up to Cal's place?

Thanks TM, do they have a web site - I'm doing research for a very important person down there... I'm afraid that my experience so far with TDI shops does not lead me to think they are DIR friendly... Maybe a plane ticket is cheaper??? Big T

I'll return to the original posting and then make a comment on something Neil said... 1) Yes, it makes sense to me and I feel safe wth th eguys I dive with - and they are all DIR 3) DIRF 4) I found the class to be the single best diving lcass I have ever taken, Tech1 is next. I think...

Hmm - thanks Tom, Do you know if they sell Halcyon gear? that's a good indicator - sometimes - Any experience with AKA divers in Arlington? Thanks, Big T
