What do you do on deco?

My thinking is that if you're getting bored on a 3 min stop then you aren't thinking about how to improve your diving.....

Nice point.

I just said this on another thread, but perhaps it would be helpful to repeat it here. When I was a brand new diver and struggling to hold a safety stop, I was in awe of the DMs who held the stops without moving a muscle. I vowed I would do the same. Even today when I am doing a NDL dive with a 3-minute safety stop, I focus on my depth and try to hold it precisely through breath control. Those 3 minutes of practice every dive have done me a world of good.

Read a paperback book, eat a lobster raw.

 

[Tortuga68]

Did the lobster complain?

 

[Thalassamania]

Underwater you can't hear them scream.

Underwater you can't hear them scream.

But sounds travels faster in water. I would think you would hear them scream sooner.

Silence Of The Lobsters then

Why no SMB ro?

Oh, we use them but the challenge is in doing things the hard way. We practice doing things free-floating in order to make the easy way seem like a walk in the park.

R..

Fair enough

Big downcurrents I prefer an SMB
