Didn't see the thread..bummer. I assume it went something like:
I am going to be in the Austin/Killeen area this summer. I am looking for a dive buddy with similar training and equipment as mine.
Requirements are as follows:
Must use a snorkel and have a backup for redundancy.
Primary snorkel must be green. Secondary must be pink.
Must dive a jacket BC with a yellow harness underneath.
You must have a alternate attached to your BC in the "triangle", you must have a secondary alternate bungeed on neck. I will allow you to donate your primary but in this situation you must also have a AIR 3 or similar integrated octo. All 3 octo's must be yellow in color.
As there is much (ok not to much) debate on the benefits of "spare-air" you must have a spare-air as well as a 17 cu ft. pony bottle.
You should have two sets of fins. Using a split fin on the right foot and blade on the left. Upon reaching the turn point the fins must be switched to allow you to reach you start point.
You will alternate kick styles every fifth kick cycle. In this order, flutter kick, frog kick, back kick (two cycles only), scissor kick and then repeat.
You must use a steel 72 with a J valve. Tank should be black in color. If tank is not black then a tank net or scubahide that makes tank look black is acceptable.
Maximum depth will be 38.5 feet and we will surface with 1359 psi.
These requirements are mandatory, please PM for additional suggested gear.
