nereas:I love trimix. I dove with it twice just yesterday (7/28/2007). I keep 2 sets of doubles ready to go with TMX 20/40 for any dives in the range of 100-200 fsw, and another 2 sets of doubles ready to go with TMX 30/30 for any dives in the range of 100 fsw.
I compute my SAC rates for every dive, and always log it into my notebook.
My gear costs a fortune, since I buy only the best of the best (ScubaPro, PST, Sartek, X-Scooter, etc.)
Therefore it looks like I dont belong here either.
But I just had to check out why NetDoc was posting here too, since as a NAUI instructor he does not strike me as a dork diver either.
When I think of a dork diver, I think of someone who:
1) leaves their snorkel behind on open water dives;
2) uses split fins;
3) has their tank dangling so low on their B/C by a single tank strap that it is bound to fall off sometime during this dive or the next;
4) does fins-on entries on beach dives;
5) crawls on beach exits;
6) wears their mask on their forehead;
7) drags their console and/or octo around without securing it;
8) does not check their SPG and runs OOA;
9) is a huge liability to anyone else in the water.
But those are just my thoughts. And the word is just a word. Sticks and stones, love (as Johnny Depp said in Pirates 1.)
