ZZZZIIIIINNNNG! It was my idea... :D

Yeah, that one's getting out of hand! :wacko: Of course it's a semiannual event... debating all the same ole things... over and over.... ;)

I know, I know... It just irritates me when someone pulls out the "you did it because you were told to" crap. I'll try to keep my mouth shut now :rolleyes: :nospeak:

Agree there... that's exactly what I did.

What are you talking about?? Are you trying to put words in my mouth? I'll put my Gavin up against any SS any day and yes I've dove and seen inside both! They are both good machines I just think the handle on the SS is a bad idea and there is nothing at all wrong with the handle on the...

Ok, now you've got some weird images going around in my mind!!! ;)

Wrist fatigue is not a problem. You shouldn't have to horse the scooter around and I can drive my Gavin with my index finger and thumb with my hand just laying on top of the handle. WKPP divers dive these things a lot longer than 2hrs, if wrist fatigue were a factor they would have designed a...

Just some of my thoughts since I've dove both and own a Gavin.... The heat dissapation thing is BS. These motors are continuous duty dc motors that should not get hot at all. If they do something is wrong! I have a Gavin and have driven an SS. I think my Gavin is a bit faster than the SS...

Ohh yeah, I just love having my arm jerked out of the socket when I'm trying to hold onto the ladder when an 8ft swell comes along as I'm getting back in the boat... It STILL hurts and that was 2 1/2 years ago! ;)

hehe... yeah, a cave class will make you safer on wrecks... you'll quit doing them when you get hooked on cavediving in any weather, don't pay exorbitant prices to get there, no seasickness, no schedules, dive when you want, clear always the same temp water (ok, it's not always clear but...

That's interesting UP but I know that's not how wkpp does it and I haven't heard of any problems from them... and they definitely have some long bottom times on high He mixes and do backgas breaks while on O2..... in fact GI encourages breaks to He based mixes..... I certainly don't have the...

Ditto, lowest PO2 gas for breaks and 12 on 5 off.

Glenn, I'd have to agree with Wreck Writer here! These "tips" on your site may get someone killed! You'd be much much better off with advice like "Do not penetrate this or any wreck without proper training" instead you give people just enough information to REALLY get themselves in trouble...

Hey Rick, Yep, flow is back at JB bigtime! Last time I was there (about a month ago) it was screamin like a beeotch! You know when you're on a Gavin and you're hadly moving there's some flow there! Makes it real fun dropping stages too! ;)

Only a cave diver... geez, one of the two is expensive and time consuming enough. ;) I did live in Louisville, KY for 5yrs when I was a kid though and my family would go to Mamoth Cave several times a year. It was awesome but I enjoy diving in the caves now. There are some water filled caves...

This flooding used to happen (before the drought years) nearly every year... March has not historically been a good month for cave diving. It's a natural cycle and like Jamie (DS) said it'll put some more water that's been desperately needed back in the Aquifer. It's still going to be below...

Yes, it would definitely be interesting.... one thing of particular interest on that site I linked to are graphs that show the difference in the deco curves between what George does and what the software calls for. I believe the software in this case is decoplanner using Bulhman ZHL 16b though...

I assume you've seen GI's deco explanation?.... This site has a lot of good links to them... if you can stand the blue on black colors.... http://www.diveventures.com/Techinfo.htm

Since neither you nor I have ever even used a FFM I think our debate is rather pointless though it may be amusing to some others ;) If you have a long hose it should not be stuffed in a bungie. :wacko: Hypothetical situation... If I were using a FFM and had a reg on a long hose I would...

Andy, this guy isn't a poser... if you do a search for cast55 on the Rodales board you'll see. He's been on that board (and on some others including DIRquest) for a long time and definitely knows what he's talking about. Having said that I really don't care if you use a FFM or not, my...
