How Deep is Too Deep for You?

[JodiBB]

I went into a panic narc at about 110', so I won't exceed that one again....I've dove several times at 100' without any problems, so I think this is my limit...for now.

Don't blame the panic on being Narc'd , once you get more dives under your belt you'll be more confortable. You were probably anxious about the deep dive allready and being Narc'd increased the snowballing into panic. I've been to 137 on Air Narc'd pretty good, you just have to ease your way into depth with an instructor or DM and take it slow and at your confort level. Anyone can handle being Narc'd. Heck, guys go to 200 on air and thats just a whole new kind of Narc'd....

130 feet in 50 Degree and up clear water (could be tempted to go deeper, don't tell PADI!!!!)

90 feet in Cold Murky Water (altitude considerations too!)

Not to mention easier to clean. Some of the places I've dove in I've been like. Why rinse the gear after this dive? The water from this spring is cleaner then what comes out of the faucet.

No kidding.. I took a drink in Little River and it was like Evian... I should have brought some empty gallon jugs with me.

What's your personal limit on depth? We need a lively debate to break in the new puppy.

Who's the new puppy, and why does the new puppy "need" a lively debate on your "personal limit on depth?"

...until you've dove saturation...

> Comfortable living chambers
> Room service
> Slow-speed elevator to the divesite
> Hot water suits ( a near orgasmic state of comfort! )
> Audio / video / Louis L'Amour library & all the "Guns & Ammo" you can take!
> Fantastic pressure-differential flush toilets
> Tractor-trailer loads of helium to gobble up

...and get this - they PAY you for all this! ( not enough, regretably. )

...I maxed out @ 730' for 35 days. Deepest in-water was about 1800'. Deepest dry topped out @ about 2250'. To go deeper would require a mix that has not been invented yet.

...All you need is several millions to set it all up, & several more to keep it staffed & running.

Best,

Where do I buy the suit?

Where do I buy the suit?

...If multi-millions are outside your budget, the best I can suggest is a trip to J.C. Penny for an off-the-rack 2-piece special, then wear it in a hot tub.

Lol - the "new" puppy is in reference to the new servers that NetDoc moved scubaboard too. The old servers were crashing constantly due to the load. After moving to the new servers TRH (The Red Head) started this thread in humor to get some stress testing on the new servers to see if they would crash....and they have not done so....

3 cheers for NetDoc!!!!!!!
