What mean we paleface?
Was covering the bulk of the dive, not going into exquisite detail. Besides, it was only a *little* bit of deco you two had. Almost didn't count!

What mean we paleface?
i can only repeat myself so many times without losing my mind
which i think i just did
there's only so many times you can say "but 1 and 1 is 2" and hear it come back, "but 2 and 1 is 3"
yeah ... no kidding ...
Is rebreather diving considered technical diving?
Ok....
Andy is the lawyer and you're the politician. Good luck with the elections later this year.
I don't need to actually get in the water or formally be trained on one to form an educated opinion on it. The keyword is educated! Some of us are capable of self-educating through books, videos, and conversations with experienced individuals. While this certainly doesn't replace formal education under the guidance of a competent instructor, it does however allow me the opportunity to participate in discussions like these with a very good understanding of each sides points.

i pushed an old lady in front of a bus last week
well, ok, i thought about it
and i have six overdue public library books

There is one major difference though in my viewpoint as someone with no practical experience..I dont have the pride or sense of accomplishment of being a CCR diver. With that I sense some divers feel the need to promote or solidify CCR's to us non-educated people.
CCR diving is inherently more riskier than OC because the chance of human error is greater. More to setup, more to check, more to monitor, more recovery modes, more likelyhood of error.
