That said some of the stuff here is really cool, so I'm sticking around.
Glad to hear it. Admitedly, things can get a little heated aroung here, but on the whole, the signal-to-noise ratio is pretty high.

I said "4 ft down.... with a 6 ft hose" to give you some extra hose to compensate for slight bending for your position in the water and arching it towards your mouth etc...
And then I corrected myself and reduced the suggested depth to 2ft.
So what is your problem dude?
I am sure the dude who wants the advice doesn't care if he is breathing in 10ft of water or 2ft he just wants to see what it's like. At least that's the impression I got. Read the post again. He says he has a 10ft pool. He didn't say he had to be at that depth.
Nobody is going to endanger themselves from following my suggestion unless they are really stupid and stay under water when they can't breathe.
And please stop putting words in my mouth.
I didn't say it was an original idea either. I know people have tried it before.
And yes I know a lot of folks did die during the modifications of primitive diving bells and suits etc. But nobody (with a fully functioning brain) accidentally died while sitting in 4 ft of water with a hose in their mouth!
To breathe underwater through a narrow tube a person has to displace a volume of water equal to the volume of air they need to breathe in. I made a mistake of saying that this was possible at 4ft. I admitted I was wrong.
I am sure had this not been corrected the guy could have figured it out himself. Who would sit there with a hose in their mouth and try to breathe when it was obviously so laborious that their lungs became damaged??
In my last post I was never trying to argue your point or the laws of physics. I stated originally, after all that "at greater depths it is too hard to breathe". I have read about early diving equipment and thought I had remembered correctly at what depth it becomes too hard to breathe air from the surface. But I was wrong as you pointed out and I apologised. I didn't deserve your last post at all.

So please take your pointless comments and stick them where the sun don't shine! eace:
It would be nice if folk like you who reply to threads could be a little more constructive and positive, not to mention POLITE! Being aggressive and patronising and trying to humiliate people for their suggestions and or opinions doesn't achieve anything at all.
So. Less of the Lip!

Why would one want to sit at the bottom of a pool (at any depth) for extended periods of time???
I did actually read your posts and I am not sure what you mean about making acusations, I was just responding to some rather dangerous advice.bermudaskink once bubbled...

READ ALL THE POSTS BEFORE REPLYING!!!!!! :upset:
I discussed C02 build up and the solution to that. I NEVER said 6 ft down.
I am just laughing so much now :LOL:
Some poor dude wants to see what being under water and breathing at the same time is like cos he is not sure if he will feel comfortable under the water and doesn't want to pay out for an expensive scuba course..... and I talk through the possibilities of inhaling air through a tube (did you actually read my post???) and you guys are like "OMG! what a completely impossible suggestion!"
Have you actually tried it yourselves (the method that I describe?) Don't be so quick to lash out with such accusations!
Thanks NetDoc for your good points
