horizontal ascents

[JeffG]

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.

Yes, you are right.

I find this amusing. I know quite a few DIR divers, we have a large population up here. The ones I know that have the most GUE certification and credibility spout the least. Its interesting.

Nothing looks cooler and has more smugness potential than slowly ascending the last 10' horizontal supine arms out to the side ( or alternately across the chest coffin style)... especially if you can really slow it down and make the last 3' take a full minute.

Agreed. I love doing that last bit face up, and just watch the silvery water surface just above me. It's also good buoyancy practice.

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.

I don't dispute the theoretical benefit, hell ... there's a theoretical benefit to just about any old thing. I do, however, have no knowledge of any publication in a reputable journal that suggests horizontal decompression is any better than vertical decompression.

I think so, but he cleaned it up here

But I didn't notice any changes to the nifty wing+suit argon system.

cdennyb sure has a strange way of taking others opinions and offering them up as his own, without attribution.

Wow..... dual hosed argon.. hadn't thought of that.

Wow..... dual hosed argon.. hadn't thought of that.

Double Yoke regs....yippeee

Wow..... dual hosed argon.. hadn't thought of that.

That's cause you're not a DIR genius like cdennyb. They teach you the advanced setup in Tech3

I am but a simple Fundies monkey. I can only aspire....

Wow..... dual hosed argon.. hadn't thought of that.

so both the wing and the drysuit are coming off the argon bottle? interesting phobia...
