    Suggestion NetDoc Day

    I suggest that NetDoc's birthday be made an International Holiday. The United Nations should issue a proclamation. Happy BDay, Doc!

    Tobin, Will this work with the Cressi Archimedes II, or just the old model?

    El O, et al., I appreciate your good intentions, and I also appreciate your having removed my unappreciated badge.

    Ditto. Offering it as an option is fine. Imposing it without consent is not.

    Naaa... I have a smoke or two at depth all the time.

    How is Egypt been affected by the present middle east crisis?

    To disagree, The Moevenpick and the Ghazala Gardens Hotels in Sharm, The Dahab Sea Resort and the central part of the town where there are many shops, restaurants, bars and guesthouses in Dahab, The Taba Hilton in Taba, these have been the recent (last three years) targets of terrorist bombings...

    Best DSMB?

    No, that one (like many) is self-sealing. Air goes in the bottom, but doesn't come out. You use the relief valve to deflate it. The orange vs. yellow convention only seems to hold true in the UK and maybe elsewhere in the EU. In the rest of the world no such distinction is made.

    An earned OW

    I'm going over there to dive with her in September. I'LL be the judge of whether she can really dive! PADI She's not really dyslexic. It was just the (not so unusual) stuff with putting the BC on the wrong side of the tank, reg on the wrong side of the valve, BC upside-down, etc. I've seen it...

    Computers vs. Dive Tables

    I'm not going to address your questions (sorry), but, as a new student, I do want to emphasize to you that a computer does not measure the amount of nitrogen your body is absorbing or releasing. See Tollie's post above: And add the very important factor of staying well hydrated!

    Blood thinners and thickeners

    Something you do want to do (as I understand it) is keep the viscosity of the blood thin and the volume of blood high. You do that by hydrating, hydrating, and hydrating some more!

    Y.A.A.T. (Yet Another Ascent Thread)

    Just one more thing. Right, the rates of off-gassing will all be different per the existing models. What were looking for is what is best. Remember the balancing act between off-gassing as quickly as possible, and not off-gassing so fast that we bubble more than the body can handle. The 60 to...

    Y.A.A.T. (Yet Another Ascent Thread)

    There's a lot of stuff here to cover, and I'm not going to come close to covering it all. I'll shotgun some answers in no particular order. (My usual disclaimer here: My understanding is WAY limited. I may be wrong. Correct me if I am.) Yes. It has everything to do with time and pressure. It...

    Zeagle-LDS ??

    Ron, I've been to the Zeagle factory. I've watched them building regs. You're wrong. Talk to them if you have any questions regarding their products. They are extremely approachable folks.

    Bottom timer

    C'mon. Somebody's got to have an extra Helix they can send off to this special woman. (I dumped mine on my sister. She loves it. I didn't. I'll stick to a Cressi Archimede on one arm and an Ironman on the other.)
