brianwl:While your at it, how about doing one on growing gills?
I can easily demo that during a deep op.

brianwl:While your at it, how about doing one on growing gills?
We really do need to find something really interesting to shuffle around down there. Maybe suspend a jet ski about 20ft off of the bottom 60ft ridge.brianwl:We can also all go down to Mermet so you and I can demonstrate how underwater buddy-team works with the Mermet Moving Company. hehehe
stingray1:Why certainly, glad to have you help me in a demonstration. If they want to see a deep recovery though I feel that we need to meet up well before the demo so as I can go over the process very thoroughly with you. It's quite intensive, unlike moving around stone statues. Of course, I have already gone over the general theory behind it with you the other night chatting with you while working on some rigging, didn't I.
there are a lot in the area. There are several here in TN too.jerrynuss:Sure! Considering a lot of the students can't afford to travel but still want to dive it would be agreat idea.
We normally go to Mermet, Pennyroyal, Cerulean but it would be great to hear about other locations or aquatic life in quarries.
If we didn't mark it then we would definately have a search on our hands. Bring a sling and deco bottles with ya just in casebrianwl:Ok, so, we take one of the statues over to the deep end of the pool next time we're there, sink it on Saturday and recover it on Sunday. hehehe
Isn't that considered professional diving? Is that allowed in a recreational setting?stingray1:How about search and recovery? I do this part time to offset my diving expenses. Deep recovery is probably the most interesting techniques.

jerrynuss:The mentioned idea about turtles and S&R are great topics and exactly what we are looking for. What we like to see is an organized presentation with visual aids and all the ideas mentioned fit right in.
Just about anything related to diving is acceptable and a variety of presenters keeps it interesting and we get to meet new people with a diving related interest.

I never said anything about being stictly a rec. diver, nor strictly on a professional level. Do you not have S&R in your certifing agency? I do and expanded on it. I don't always agree with the agencies. It's usually feed the shop which I usually do not. I dove for 16 years before ever getting a certification and I'm still alive because of my common sense and quick adaptability to changing conditions I'm a natural in zero vis and with lifting techniques as well as search procedures.KimLeece:Isn't that considered professional diving?
