I just happened to see the Dec 02 issue of rodales .I am especially put out with the "how to" article on deco diving in particular the diagram of a "properly equipped " diver on page 36
I dont know weather to get mad or laugh. the article and picture would be very funny in the scuba humour section . But Rodales is going to get someone killed .

If you look at the other pictures in the rag you will see that they don't have a clue what a properly equiped recreational diver looks like. Just go through and count the dangling alternates and gauges. In my shop we are putting together a "Don't Do it Like This Wall" made up entirely of pictures cut out of magazines.

Yo can make a 'Do it like this' wall as well...

You could start with the 'infamous' skin diver magazine cover girl. :bonk:

Can you describe it? We don't get Rodales over here....

I too have noticed the divers in the magazine pictures with all their dangling equipment. I know when I went through OW certification my instructors stressed how important it is not to have dangling equipment. Sport Diver is covered with pics of divers with dangling equipment.
 
We've even found a couple of pictures of divers that didn't have their bc inflat hose hooked up.
