well what the heck I'm home sick can't dive dont' want to work so I'll drag myself down into this thread.
I get really pissed when I see someone walking on the bottom, two things, if its in the ocean your obviously going to be doing damange, if your in my local mud hole, your killing the vis even if its already low to begin with, talk about no respect for the sport or environment, or the other divers around you.
If your on a platform or something where you can walk around without killing the vis then so be it go for a walk I really don't care.
Now to the original poster telling everyone to try it, well thats just crap. I've seen other posts by this guy and read is profile, some of his posts cracked me up but I'm scared someone is going to read that garbage and believe some of it, I see in his profile information he wants to be a cave diver, thats scary, the problem here is age, reading all of these posts makes me think he is 12 years old, the last thing he needs to be thinking about is cave diving or pushing to be a 'tek' diver, he is pushing to fill a body bag so please people do not encourage him.
To the original poster:
If you want to learn to dive a hog rig and properly use a long hose and such, get with some local divers that know their stuff, take some classes, don't learn it on here, you need to take this stuff seriously, serious as in this stuff will kill you, I'm curious what your parents have to say about all of your activity, or did you just get the credit card from them to become a 'tek' diver, I looked at your gear list, boy I bet your LDS loves you.
If you seriously want to be a 'tek' diver quit walking on the bottom, get some classes, quit blowing money on gear, well unless its your parents money, and please whatever you do, do NOT answer anyones questions on this board when they start asking because they might actually believe you.
Someone needs to call this boys parents and let them know what he is doing.
