Finally got that "re-assignment" surgery? Good for you! :D

Yeah let's start a new one - Happy New Year everyone!

Yeah it was right near the same area but not the same railing - too much debris and no light that I tied off last time - DOH! Want to go check it out with us in a few weeks?

We dove the dam yesterday (lake is at 1665) and we found a walkway with an open door about 174ffw. Anyone know anything about this? We were on air with limited bottom time so we did not venture in but are planning a trimix dive to explore it in the near future.

Exactly - this should have been answered in one post - "Because the DIR people say so......." :)

Same here - when you are diving a Superwing with steel doubles, it takes a lot of backgas to inflate it. Why waste it when you can orally inflate?

Pushing you away gives room to maneuver and stops the molestation. By the time you decided to get your knife out you would already have my long hose in your pie hole..... Gotta love tec diving terms!.......... :shocked2:

:rofl3:

Yeah how do we vote in? I have been dying to get to the Maldives and this might just cement it.

No that's how I, Bill, would react to a panicked diver trying to molest me underwater - or at least molesting me to grab my primary out of my mouth. :) Kidding aside - go back to your rescue training - when I am underwater, I am number one (providing it is not a student and then I am already...

Yes it deals with the scenario but are we really talking about it being okay to have someone grabbing at your primary? If I am underwater and someone starts grabbing at my primary they are going to get punched away from me while I am uncoiling my long hose to donate. Chances are is they are...

Who cares what other people are doing as long as they aren't screwing up the Rec diver's dives. Do your dives and don't worry about what the other guys are doing. It IS possible to dive recreational profiles on a CCR you know.

We usually do mixes that allow us to fill with He and top with air. Examples: 10/50, 14/33, etc... Makes it simpler is you don't have to put in O2. I hate how paranoid some shops are about topping with air. If you are worried, make them sign your standard nitrox waver (you do have one...

Only has to happen once at those depths my friend... :) You know I hear people talk about number of dives all the time. Number of dives means NOTHING!!!!!!!!! I watched a guy at the lake last weekend jump in for 10 minutes, surface until his computer cleared and then go back down because...

I was attempting to read through the 20 pages of posts but finally found what I was hoping for started here..... Let's do some math to explain M_Bipartitus's correct comment: At 220fsw - you are at 7.7 atm. If you assume an average SAC rate of .7cuft/min and add in narcosis factor you are...

Correct - Along with a max depth of 130 and max deco time of 10min.

Looks like Joel is using the same manufacturer as Dive Rite and is badging them as HOG. I could be wrong..... If so, they are good stuff...

Just a question for the OP (zerogravity I think?) Did you ever get any useful information out of this thread before it got hijacked? I would like to make sure your question gets answered for you as it was a good one.

Just out of curiosity - who did YOU get your technical training through?
