That dive was no joke. I had a scop patch on my neck and I still threw up once. Aqualung's new BC is really slick, I never really use a BC but it looks pretty high speed. I remember when we came up and the boat was gone. That made me feel a little uncomfortable. It's a good thing that I can swim. I treaded water until they came back as I wasn't even wearing a BC on that trip. I suppose if I got tired I could've ditched my weight belt, but since I am not a slob I didn't need to do so.
If you buy a poodle jacket it should at least be something classy like a scubapro classic.
Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love deeply, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.
Not everyone who reads SB is looking to learn how best to use their new snorkel. Some are here just hoping to get the chance to tell someone else exactly what they can do with their new snorkel. While others are trying to sell their old snorkel. (gypsyjim)

Yeah, that was a day, I still don't understand why they did not just bring the boat back to us instead of making us all swim after it. . Maybe the DMs had a bet with the captain on which fat old guy would cardiac first, lol (not including you, neither old or fat, ha). I swallowed enough seawater that day to fill a saltwater aquarium. Yeah, I am trying to remember who all was there, most of the guys (and girls) did not have a BC at all or any long hoses. I had my Oxy only to help out with the stupid camera. Otherwise I might have deep sixed. . You were swimming for all you had, we should not have even been out there I suppose. Well, we survived.
Yep, that little AL Zuma may be the winner, would like to get it in a pool.

On a large pile of smokin' A'a, the most isolated population center on the face of the earth. 2,175 miles to Alaska, 2,390 miles to California; 3,850 miles to Japan; 4,900 miles to China; 5,280 miles to the Philippines.
I refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one.

I suspect that it an allusion to the separate bottles that used to be part of many British BCs (then called ABLJs).
I think that's right. Back from the good 'ole days when it was assumed the best solution to any diving emergency was to turn a valve and shoot to the surface like a missile.

As a FENZY user of many years I have to say that, "turn a valve and shoot to the surface like a missile," was never viewed (as far as I know) as an appropriate solution any more than using a power inflator to accomplish the same thing. For me, at least, the bottle was a backup breathing supply back in the days before an auxiliary was a standard piece of gear.
