You're right, but something tells me he's not gonna get it, as per this thread....

Not following DIR and HOG

Of course, he's changed his nick and his qualifications since then, so he may have had a change of heart. Either that, or he's still trolling.

I knew I'd seen this guy before.

Hey Tek - I'm looking for a trimix instructor with a difference: who are you affiliated with, who trained you and what’s your instructor number?

You seem refreshingly different to all those GUE/TDI/NAUI robots....

Cheers,
Rohan.

Grasshopper,

Let us seek serenity and knowledge at the feet of the master. Here is a place to begin:

Read the two opening essays and Irvine's first and second articles, and then go through Pina's photos. Heck, read them all...it's all good.

To know why things are the way they are, some history and general theory is often useful. Pina Porceddu had a great website at www.Pina3.net, however, it has regretably been taken down. It featured a number of Irvine articles including one written by George in 1995 that got the entire thing rolling. These sites, however, offer considerable insight into equipment rigging:

http://www.gue.com/Equipment/Config/index.html

Finally, fortunately, the pure crystalline elemental 1995 Georgeism may still be found at the site below. While the entire site is priceless and well worth your while to read, if you don't speak the language it's difficult to get the maximum benefit out of it! Still, the prelude to the article and then the article itself (in the Adobe format at the bottom of the page) remains a priceless bit of history that tends to establish a foundation which is still being built on today.

[click on 'Doing It Right' towards the top, then click on "Do It Right or Don't Do It", the fifth bullet down from the top...the articles are in English. Print it out, use a highlighter, and study it for awhile...it still makes excellent sense today.]

Seek to simply understand, grasshopper, neither agree nor condemn!

There will be plenty of time for both later on....

YMMV.

Best,

Doc

Yup, for someone doing 400+ foot Heliox dives, you should be telling us how to setup our gear.

 

[TheRedHead]

Oh yes, I remember that thread. What happened to the 6,000 foot dive we had planned on AL 63s?
