Good advice and thank you guys:
1) I like the notion of rule of thirds and can't see any particular reason to not practice it in my recreational diving.
2) We'll only hit 100 feet if we all plan to. I suspect that - more likely than not - we'll decide NOT to plan our dive that way, and consequently not do it.
3) If we do do it - it would be a straight shot down to 100 feet. I had thought that it might be beneficial to stop a minute at 30 ft, and another minute at 60 ft just for everyone to check in, but is that an excessive amount of time?
4) That is good to keep in mind about rock bottom on 100s. I think I am going to be focussing more on developing an awareness of my SAC
5) You are probably right that my definition of "plenty" needs to be revised!
6) And no, no experience with DSMBs although one day I would like to learn the proper technique.
No way would any of I or my buddies practice skills down there before having everything nailed shallow first!!
