Three man buddy teams

It's not me getting through the stop.. but rather the stop getting through me that I'm concerned about.

About the bungeed spoon... correctly positioned you should be able to get it in your mouth without using your hands!

 

[novadiver]

I heard about those. Weren't they made somewhere in Florida and had to be recalled?

I got cheap and did mine DIY. Had to set up the drill press with a jig. Put the hole at the end of the handle and now the bolt snap sits in the palm of my hand. Have to admit you have something going with the bungee. I was think that I was going to start carring a B/U in my left pocket just incase I drop it.

I've seen disturbing pictures of SS spoons dangling, doesn't anyone take the course anymore. not you all of course, your squared away with your advanced spoon cert. That's the one with the spoon fork combo so it can be used for gumbos and chowders:11ztongue

Actually advanced spoon certification is for overhead environments.

Nova - don't you remember from your Soup DIR-F (Drink It Right Fundamentals) class that you leave the spoon/fork combo topside? The only time you need a fork is for stews and chowders. Stews and chowders are not meant to be consumed below water. They are far too rich. Soup tox at depth is to be avoided at all cost. Please go back and read through your manual - otherwise "No soup for you - 6 dives." Then you'll just be forced to drink just water.

You know what really burns my tongue? It's the newbs that think they are cool with their spoon/fork combo on a retractor or a quick release buckle. I say stow it in the cooler where it belongs!!!

And another thing that gives me severe indigestion is having a buddy who won't share his spoon in an OOS (out of soup) emergency. We practice S drills (yes wise one - this stands for soup drills) and carry b/u regs for our buddies, but these weenies insist on a germ free environment.

While the spoon was in the DIR-f course book, I was going HOG with the spoon fork combo, what burns me is the divers with the swiss army knife with 40 tools when all that is really need is the spoon.

In all seriousness.... DIR for the 20' curry is to drink it straight from the thermos.

 

[OE2X]

Agreed except in shark infested waters where spilled soup could be considered chum. It's best to avoid red curry in locations such as this.

 

[Uncle Pug]

That is why green is specified... and only at the 20' stop. Below that red curry looks like green curry which in turn looks like red curry.

I hear Padi is teaching the proper use of "the straw" at depth

 

[Uncle Pug]

It was bound to happen. Now the bottom will be littered with dead rototillers... chunks of potato clogging their too small straws.

 

[OE2X]

Use a snorkel! It now has a real purpose. Who would have thought it could save your life? As long as you stay away from the corrugated ones you're o.k.
