Using SMB For Backup Flotation

[RJP]

I attributed no quotes to you that weren't direct quotes from your posts. I suggest you provide an example of where I did so.

My DUI 30/30 "tropical" drysuit has been to Bonaire, Caymans, Hawaii, Curacao, West Palm Beach, etc. Hell, the only time I wear a wetsuit is in a heated pool with students!

You're just a slacker!

I wear a wetsuit in the pool and for 2 dives during the last week of august.

No Eric, double AL 80s and an AL 40 stage are considered a balanced rig and acceptable for (light) technical diving in a wetsuit.

Did you miss the part where Tim said he was neutral at the end of the dive?? The only weight we'd be swimming up is the weight of the gas and wetsuit compression swing (forget all those other numbers). If someone can't swim that up, they need to get a tee time.

Brian,

Neutral at the end of the dive has nothing to do with it. It is the negative bouyancy at the most negative part of the dive that matters, which would be on descent, where a run away descent scenario is most likely to happen. This is especially important on blue water wall dives, and there are accidents documented where this has happened. Swimming up empty AL80's would not require a whole lot of effort, and isn't a pratical example. And since you'd like to call me out on this, let's go do the Lowrance together, descend, put in maybe 10 minutes of BT to accrue some decompression obligation, empty your wing, and watch you come up from the sand and do your stops without a form of backup bouyancy, since you consider your rig to be balanced. When you have a leg cramp from kicking vertically during your ascent and stops, would you like some help? Or, would your cavalier attitude get you through? I can hear the bubbles forming in your joints as I type this.

LOL. Those are direct quotes of you. Are you serious?

Money well spent, I'm sure.

Yes. Here's the post those quotes are from. You'll note that it is not my post.

Was saving up for a FFM, DPV, and a Meg but decided, "ah what the hell"

RJP,

You are killing me here.

Let's take a look at the facts:

Oh wow, I think my last post landed me on RJP's ignore list. Whoops! Guess I struck a nerve.

How do you figure that? Because I didn't respond within moments?

No, mempilot quoted one of your posts after mine and I couldn't find it. I thought you blocked me!! Anyway, glad that's not the case. I'd hate to lose friends over arguing about lift bag techniques

Well actually, he's attributed a handful of quotes to me that aren't mine so that might explain why you couldn't find them...

I attributed no quotes to you that weren't direct quotes from your posts. I suggest you provide an example of where I did so.

Then, you proceed to give not example of where I attributed a handful of quotes to you that aren't you, but you give an example of where I attributed direct quotes of you from your own posts.

Dude, you are so dilusional, it's funny. You spent all your time arguing a point and finally back it up with an example that doesn't even fit the basis of the discussion. Then you go on some rant about me misquoting you, when I only quote you direct out of your own posts. Holly crap Batman! You need a therapist.

Yes. Here's the post those quotes are from. You'll note that it is not my post.

Excuse me? Where did I quote you in that post? It wasn't even my post. LOL

The dilusion continues. You're on a roll. Keep going.
