cdennyb:
quoting someone else to substantiate your position is not wrong. If you feel my quotes are not necessary, why quote some web site with basic lung theory which in no way really relates to our discussion here of being horizontal when decompressing?
You have no position.

You are just proving that you know how to use google.
 
JeffG:
LOL...Yep sure do.

You would almost want to believe that deco is like falling into a black hole. If your vertical, the gravitational forces will tear your body apart.

Thats what the "jon line" is for - to keep the deco vortex from ripping you to shreds :rofl3:
 
cdennyb hasn't posted for a bit. He must be googling up a storm.
 
Soggy:
Is this your rig still, cdennyb?
LOL..

Kinda DIR, but safe.

Because this is a pissing contest and some folks want you to piss into the wind.
 
Bruce has done quite a lot for understanding the models of bubble formation and in fact that quote was from a published article by him, not some manual quoting it again, in part, for some software deco computer.
thank you very much, but even you did not give proper credit for that statement.
so...

I have a mutlitude of written date, articles, etc. and felt no reason to write it again, re-inventing the wheel so to speak, when in fact I was accused of not inventing that which Iwrote. No ****. I suppose your mastery of the english language could be interpreted by someone to be plegurizing (sp?) the written word. I guess that's the magic of language.
Since we're so off topic, and everyone here has seemed to accept the statement that George NEVER said anything about being horizontal, maybe you should listen to the DIR video. He was very specific in that statement, and I wish he were here on the board to assist me in defending the logical and correct reason for a horizontal position in the water column.
In order to accurately discuss and communicate with someone, it's usually necessary to have a common frame of educational reference with that person or persons, which is not necessarily the case here.
I am done replying for today. Take your shots, you know I'm right, and so are the people I quoted.

Once again, no one is disputing the benefits to being horizontal during ascent nor the theoretical decompression benefit, but it certainly isn't "the whole story" from you, the self-proclaimed expert in all things DIR.
