Sometimes it's best to ask first... without touching.

As a short primer on parking lot dive etiquette I offer the following anecdote from yesterday.

While standing at the back of my P/U after our first dive a fellow who had parked next to me struck up a converstation. I like conversations and he seemed to be a nice sort.

I noticed he was wearing the same brand drysuit that I was... and I also noticed that he noticed a small difference in mine.

Before I could defend my honor he moved in close and took a hold of my *bolt* bare handed and asked me what it was.

I showed him.

So... the moral of the story is: "Ask, but don't touch."

Oh man... You know, in some places, y'all are considered MARRIED, now!!

So, where have Uncle Pug and his valve been lately?

I know he took a moratorium from the board, but maybe it's time for a return.

 

[divinginn]

we just need to pull up old threads of his and maybe he will surface by the way i think that was the funniest thread ive seen yet

OW! OW! OW! Stomach hurts!

Reminds me of a prank that we'd pull on the newbies in the Service. Some, but not all, of a particular type of aircraft we'd get in once in a while for maintenance would have a pilot's relief-tube with an overboard vent-fitting. We always made sure to escort one of the 'uninitiated' out to the plane and inform them that the vent had been written-up by the pilot as being clogged, and caused fluctuating air-speed readings.
Naturally, there was no specific tool to use to unclog it, so we'd tell them all they needed to do was simply blow in the end while we monitored the pressure-gauge from inside the cockpit.

And then we'd give them the honor of getting to do it to the next unsuspecting dweeb.

Yessireeee, your tax-dollars at work.

Pa' had a story like this, only I guess as the hoses got used, they would have to cut them and reseat them, and eventually...they would eventually need to be replaced so work order "reliefe tube is too short, needs replacing."
...so Father wrote: "reliefe tube long enough for enlisted men!"

Now look listen...
It was listed as a related thread to my touching post..... resulting in blowing itself....
But the concept of that valve is new, can someone explain
I mean a wetsuit is nice and warm, but a drysuit..... it might help against athletesfoot...
At 30m is there not going to be a presure problem?

What pressure do you assume you are at? Your bladder is full of liquid which is non-compressable, therefore at depth your pressure is the same as external pressure...usually no problem...

I would say basic hydraulics but wouldn't want to be responsible for spayed screens...oops, did I say that out loud?
