okay, after some serious PMs i have been enlightened as to what caused all these remarks and realize that i have been blessed with exceptional air consumption skills. yes, i've checked and my average SAC rate is around a .4 (i've even logged some dives with a .38/.36 and lower) i knew i was 'good' on air, i just had NO IDEA that this could be something that could have been construed as bragging, thus spurring all of these comments.
I was completely CLUELESS as to what people thought i was implying when i mentioned my total dive time on the spiegel. fortunately someone was nice enough to take the time to explain it to me. i thought it was normal...apparently its not.
so again, i'm just looking for a buddy, NOT in anyway trying to say i'm better than anyone. i was just trying to give an example for others to gauge my consumption with....
anyone wanna dive???
