Using A Long Hose Isn't Just For Tech Divers

Berman reference? We aren't all cave divers here?

yup

I'm trying to understand his gas management.

isn't that an oxymoron or something?

 

[novadiver]

It amazes me that nova actually wants to point to a body count to justify or condemn solo diving. In my opinion, no one needs to die for me to know it's a bad idea.

I agree, solo diving for you is a bad idea,

I'm trying to understand his gas management.

It's thirds. Always thirds. Thirds w/ an AL80, thirds with LP104's. Thirds in 30 ffw, thirds in 140 fsw. Thirds in overhead, thirds in current, thirds in a pool.

I would drink beer in thirds...but I only have two hands

that would require you to take an overhead and deco course, both have gas management plans that work

Thirds of total gas, across all usable tanks, too it seems. You have a pair of Al 80s on your back, and a slung Al 80? Use half your back gas on the way in, the other half on the way out, and you have a slung Al 80 as a reserve third. I like the simplicity

Funny, a lot of people who have *taught* the types of classes you've taken, and have much more experience than you do, have no trouble explaining their gas management....

Doesn't seem to be any regards to his buddies tank size either. Oh wait, he's diving solo, who is he saving the other third for?

it's 1/4rs into a siphon and 1/3rds into the flow. that overhead caving. for deco diving in open water it's sac x time x ata plus 50%.
