Halcyon may have stuff that is DIR and the corporate figureheads may conspire amongst the light, scooter, etc manufacturing since they are all in cahoots. What I want to know is when I’ll be able to go on vacation and explain to the waiter that I will be doing a DIR trip and will require the...

PV=nRT so you'll be playing with ppO2 and ppN2. The why of expansion and consequent ischemia should start to become clearer and clearer when you make gases big.

Is there a DIR brand of gear on the horizon? I’d love to be able to go to a shop in the islands and say “hey…give me one of those DIR regs and a DIR BC, oh …and a DIR light too”

Perhaps reevaluating your dive plan (esp. the gas management portion) would be a better investment than adding more gear, more bottles, and significantly departing from common configurations that are considered safe and reliable (a quick search and you’ll find that debate abounds).

Is anyone here capable of rationale thought?

I fell for it just as you all have. This was a free advertising opportunity. All Jablonski had to do was start a thread and we scuba dolt warriors took of with the debate. Don’t we look like sheep? Way to go GUE, DIR, Halcyon, Brownie, EE super marketer. Splendid work (taking private...

Jarrod, I personally think that you’re just a guy who did his homework in psychology and economics class. You’ve done well for yourself and for that I congratulate you. You’ve managed to spin a tangled web and until recently you somehow convinced people that all of your business ventures...

Wendy pretty much nailed it. I have 100 or so trips to the bottom of the spring and have enjoyed every one. Make the walk and don your gear on the right side of the basin as you walk in. The boil around cork rock at the bottom will blow your mask off if given the opportunity. The sign is at...

H2Ohead or whatever... and the rest that feel this dive was either not impressive or didn't happen I have this to say... ”What gives you the right to knock something that you can't even fathom being able to do.” You don’t know me at all and therefore haven’t a clue about what I can...

Check out the Deco forum here on the SB. Some say wait while others say if you have deco'd 'properly' you can fly with "wet hair". Good luck with the latter.

I do not partake in drink-foolery. I was providing you with a soft way of “reading into” my message about being a GI Blindfish (one who loses sight of self while living in caves). I think biologists call them Steriodium swimicus nutbagelcles.

I’m almost certain it’s not DIR (unless i charge enough), but if you’re bold enough, I’ll let you dive off of my boat into 110’ with vis to the top so you can see a summer lightening storm. I only ask that you take a copper bonding strip with you as an up line (and to ensure my electronics get...

Yes indeed. Funny how funny everyone finds the GUE instructors. It'ss cute how the instructor can make a joke about raping you blind while you laugh and chuckle. Isn't it great to be liked. David Copperfield can make the Statue of Liberty disappear, can Andrew?

Oh what the hell, a little purple Kool-Aid never hurt anyone. Either you trust in the GI or you don’t. And this from an Irvinian disciple that doth protest the record for intrauniversal liquid immersion endurance. Sad, sad, and sad I say unto you if thou lacks ability to please thy master.

This is just too good of a thread to let die on page 9. Holy underwater breathing Batman!!!!

I personally can’t wait to see the “GUE introduction to live aboard photography; digital film processing and BEYOND!!.....Filming It Right...FIR for newbies”. It’s only a matter of time……and ….and….dare I say……MONEY

Sounds like fun. I do like the what-if drills. I had my valves turned off in the very narrow drop into Oliver Springs by a close relative many years ago (I was less than happy, but glad to have recognised the very tight situation it presented). Valve management is a good thing no matter how...

Congrats on the captains checkout. I have never been dove around the CCBT, but will soon be moving to the peninsula there and look forward to learning the area dive spots. I was just curious what the vis is like and if summer is the only time the weather is favorable for diving.

This is sheer madness. you're actually going to go underwater and breathe compressed gas? Don't do it. For all that is sacred and holey save yourself and just don't do it man!
