[Jax]

Earlier in this thread - I couldn't find it to quote - a savvy diver asked an over-equipmented diver why he needed such a long hose. "Because it's TECH gear." Several times asked and that was the answer.

So, I'll bite . . . Why DO Tech divers need longer hoses?

(first local dive guide) I want to come to the USA to study psychology so I can understand my western divers better.

(second local dive guide) With a mischievous grin. No, I want to come to the USA to study hypnosis so I can make these vacation divers do what I tell them to do without questioning me.


Kinda scary!

Great thread. Still Chuckling!

From my own experience:

Went for my checkouts at Dutch Springs (local quarry) last weekend. I turned to the instructor, Rich, and asked

"Is there was a rinse tank at the entry point?".
He looked at me, serious as could be, and said,
"Yep, its the big wet thing next to the dock."

Duh!
