Just had to share this . . .

For those of you who remember the great SPG war, the stealth Jets, and other battles:

My husband was putting together some slides for the gas management portion of his Nitrox class the other night, when he turned to me and said, "You know, if I haven't said it before, thank you so much for dragging me, kicking and screaming, to the dark side."

The system works. It just really does.

just remember its considered tacky to gloat in the debrief :cool2:

But doesn't he still dive the Cobra?

Thanks for reminding us Besides the diving itself, in my case, the system has helped a lot in establishing ties with cave diving comunity. Couple of years ago I couldn't imagine diving on a cave project. Now, I'm a part of GUE cave project in Bosnia, diving there with Chris, Fred and lot of other GUE divers, learning, sharing knowledge, gaining experiance, and above all, having fun.

I think just about everyone who gets into GUE/UTD/DIR either before or early on into any kind of technical (or "techreational") diving path will inevitably have that Aha! moment where they will unknowingly put the knowledge that they have gained into practice. Without realizing it until after the fact.

One of my most recent ones, related to gas planning actually, occurred on my dive at a new to me site that is considered pretty advanced. My dive buddy gave me a rough outline of the dive plan and on the spot I calculated my gas needs and figured that I did bring a big enough tank to accomplish the dive, with gas to spare. And I was right!!

Peace,
