Well, let's see. I have my physical location in my profile and pics of local diving opportunities, and have 'vacation diver' listed in my profile. Your train of logic appears to be for me to find a job somewhere with different local diving that I've thoroughly described and posted pics of, and I haven't even mentioned mo-dad systems used out here. Did you have a specific geographic spot for me to live, and a job waiting there, to allow me to dive more, along the lines of more dives must lead to better gas management?
Here's where I currently work - I get a day or two off every two weeks as we bring an over $3 billion dollar contribution to the US economy on-line. My boss, Kim Odell, is the gal in the nationwide TV ad on the front web page.

You can forget St. Croix since I have a personal ethic i can't reconcile havinmg my labor support Papa Smurf Chavez.
The refiney on Aruba has been shut down indefinitely for economic reasons.
The refinery on Curacao is on long term lease (99 or so years) to PDVSA and operated as an arm of said Chavez regime network.
So, we work (hard) to afford (limited)n vacations to scuba destinations. getting a "Scuba by braille" C-card and "Pirogue Diver" C-card just doesn't float my boat. But you have sources for diveable areas local to me or else you wouldn't be telling me I need to dive more. Saddle up to the bar and bring them on. Keep the mo-dad factor in mind since HazMat style diving would be required.
What specific areas of gas management have you diagnosed me with beyond what i';ve already repaired? Your post is so general it misses the points I made in mind - in Frontier language, 'shooting from the hip' is only done if you have dead aim accuracy. Do you?
Guess I'll post my two recent vacation threads and then you can tell me exactly, with specifics, the point of your post(s) in light of all the readily info available.

Specifics please - quantitative specifics. profiles are in the threads and my first post on this thread did specificaly mention we're diving computer proviles on our own without chivving divemasters.
I doubt BubbleBlocker is 6'-1" but undoubtatbly has smaller bellows volume than me. Anyone who knows that the reaction to make your body take a breath comes from CO2 concentration, not O2 concentration. So tell me again specifics on gas management you divined I'm deficient in. I missed the specifics in the 4 winking smilies in your post.
Looks like my pics of local fauna and water clarity may have been removed from the previous thread - the thread it was spun off from was shut down twice by NetDoc and may now have vanished. I'll post the chocolate-brown Swiss Miss water with gators, water moccassins, and other local fauna for you to see the fun of local diving here when I get Photobucket up and running again - it seems overloaded, probably from lots of folks uploading holiday pictures right now - but I still have several albums here on Scubaboard.
Well, here's the thread with pics with me clearly identifying myself as an 'underwater tourist' - but perhaps you can still get a point out of the 'How to hav a discussion' thread if you choose to.

We do get to watch a nesting pair of Souther Bald Eagles fly over our proerty into the woods behind us, likely a nesting pair, along with herons, egrets, ibis, hawks, and plenty of nonpoisonous snakes and frogs. But local scuba diving is for someone much more extreme than me.
