i will match anyone here on air consumption. $1000 says you will be the asd
(air sucking dog) who comes up first. i will leave any further remarks from the above post alone about smoking after saying i realize humans are naturally prejidous and easily mis led by the media. your health, abilties and intelegence has nothing with what my personal habits so leave smoking out of this.
good or bad diving habits are a result of experience and familiarity with your equipment and their interaction with the open water. that is the difference in divers.
sounds to me this was a fairly novice and new diver. he was probably sucking air because he was seeing his first fish up close. remember when you first started diving how exciting and thrilling it was. i remember it as being awesome and is every time still.
lots of other reasons for being a asd current health, weight, familarity, etc.
*EDIT* Holy crap who dragged up this old thread? The principles in this thread are probably dead from lung cancer by now anyway.
i think it is great you are taking advanced classes and just as great the other guy was too. the more you dive the better and safer it gets. maybe you should ask for a private class or at least closer attention next time.
Sure, if your diving habit is just going to go down to Cozumel 1 wk/yr or so, don't spend money on equipment. But if you are committed to doing advance courses, you need to have your own stuff. Don't you think?
Ummmmm, I think he meant there were 3 students plus an Instructor as well as a Rescue Diver...5 total divers. :14:
