I died because of my slate - looking for articles/info on slate abbrev.

Thanks for keeping me entertained at work...while JeffG doesn't express his ideas in what most would term "eloquent" and/or "nice" imho his bottomline is correct. Though he is correct, unfortunatley without stating the "why's" in more detail it comes across like a rant...

You're welcome.

Time to glue that patch on my CCR...

Did you get it?

One made its way to the Netherlands already.

Have you seen the DSAT video's?

(Note: Thats not totally fair...I'm sure there are some good DSAT/PADI Tech instructors)

Lol, that is why I wouldn't assume they were teaching propusion, trim, etc.

But each of these levels, allows the diver to expand his/her dive horizon.

Taking a O2 rich bottle to depth, so that you can "extend" the ndl when you get shallow seems to me to be a very weak reason.

I see your point on the bottle. You don't "need" it on a no-stop dive so the risk probably outweighs the benefit.

It's only risky if there is confusion regarding when to switch.

Oh wait...

I bet you just heard another woooooooosh didn't you.


I love it...."Oh you're one of them.....boo hoo"

Why don't you just respond to the comments in the post instead of crying in your milk?

Those who know do not speak- Those who speak do not know

Fortunately, although the wording is cleaver, this is not true, at least here on ScubaBoard. Many very knowledgeable divers do speak up on subjects of which they know a lot more than me. And if I am only willing to put aside my own preconceived notions and open my mind and set aside my ego for a moment, I might actually learn something.

I have learned a lot of somethings from Jeff.

Gee...Its the peanut gallery.

Does it feel good to put in your two cents without any content?

I guess thats why you're a Master Instructor.

Here's another good saying...."When you're right...you're right, sucks to be you I guess."


Edit: LOL....You're the instructor in question. No wonder you're bitter.

Maybe you can let us know your feelings on the Apprentice Tech Card. Where a diver with 50 dives can take a rich O2 mix to depth to extend his/her NDL.

 

[JeffG]

bump.

And sometimes, those who post do not comprehend.

Jeff has probably provided more meaningful questions than answers. Sometimes, you can learn more from a question than a spoon fed answer.
