split from Trimix in 100 dives

[Blackwood]

Not only that, but he would recommend going CCR immediately after OW certification.

Heck, I'm sold. I'll definitely go trimix before 100 dives. Thanks Internet!

Although it is pretty funny to connect those two separate posts and conclude that one should get into diving past 350 feet "as early as possible," in the interest of being fair, I assume what Nereas was suggesting was that if a CCR is implicitly required by the type of diving you want to do, you should learn it sooner rather than later.

On the issue of CCRs, if you are a CCR diver and you want to dive with your CCR, as my buddy, that is fine with me. There are no issues since my O/C system of twin tanks is completely redundant, concerning backgas and deco bottles (I normally use from 2 to 4). I don't need you to share gas with me, which you could not do anyway.

Do your rebreather buddies not carry bail out gas? They could share that with you.

There is never a need to share gas with me.

I carry more than enough for myself, and a rule of thirds reserve on backgas for them as well.

Google don't fail me now!

As it did when Nereas tried to look up CCR info?

I thought we're being a little too hard on Nereas. Now, I've never used a rebreather so I generally don't talk about them much. But if I did talk about them with a friend, and if we agreed that they're only good for dives below 300' and never for dives above that, some people might give us a hard time. For instance, they might say to me,

YOU STROKE. YOU IGNORANT STROKE. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CCRs? HOW CAN YOU EXPRESS AN OPINION OVER SOMETHING YOU OBVIOUSLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT? THAT'S BEING A STROKE OF THE FIRST DEGREE, YOU DUMB STROKE.

And I'd feel pretty bad if they said that to me. But then, if as I was talking to my friend about CCRs and he said how rebreather divers can never share gas, those same people might say to my friend,

STROKE! YOU'RE EVEN MORE OF A STROKE THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A BAILOUT BOTTLE? HONESTLY, DO YOU GET ALL OF YOUR DIVING INFOMRATION FROM GOOGLE? THAT'S THE VERY DEFINITION OF BEING A STROKE. NOBODY SHOULD DIVE WITH YOU, STROKE!

And that would be pretty hurtful of them to say that to my friend. But I don't know if they'd even stop there. They might, if they really wanted to be mean, turn to me and my friend, and to both of us they'd say,

MY GOD WE'RE SURROUNDED BY STROKES, AND YOU'RE THE WORST KIND. IT'S A GOOD THING YOU DON'T ACTUALLY DIVE, BECAUSE IF YOU DID AND YOU DID SO IN SUCH A STROKEY WAY, YOU'D BE DEAD ALREADY!!

Anyways, that's what they'd say to us. But since I don't really talk about rebreathers in the first place, I don't think we'll ever hear anything like that.

I am telling you that you are taking a huge, unnecessary risk, if you are diving with a CCR where you could instead be diving with O/C twin tanks. My statement is technically a conclusion, which is a form of opinion, but it is also very close to being a self-evident truth. You don't have to like truth. You can ignor it if you want.

So are you going to provide any proof, facts or evidence to back up this latest claim or are you going to do what you've done in the last 9 or 10 threads (ie just fail to respond to anyone challenging you and ignore the thread from then on) ?

Is google running slow today?

These are posts I moved from Technical diving and discussion about Trimix in 100 dives.
