Well, tomorrow's the last day of my deco course. For now, instead of working my exams, this is what comes to me . . .
Saturated Shakespeare
Alas! Now hear my dive lament:
Although I made a slow ascent
I fear my S.I. was misspent.
Of nanobots therefore I dreamt,
To deconstruct each microbubble
Before it grew to cause me trouble.
But morning’s light finds me still bent! Harsh mistress 'twas that taught me this:
Pushed limits can't make ignorance bliss.
-Bryan

If leading dives is herding cats, is leading training dives herding Schrodinger's cats?
And the SB Politeness Award goes to . . . Doc Vikingo, for "I find this assertion not compelling." The measure of a good dive plan is its impermeability.
Poor dive plans, on the other hand, tend to be water-soluble.
Thanks, TS&M. Completed the course today. Had I known everything involved, I might never have undertaken it. So I'm quite pleased. To paraphrase Merle Travis and T.Ernie Ford . . .
You breathe three thousand pounds, whaddya get?
Another day colder and deeper and wet.
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't stop
I owe my soul to the local dive shop.

Oh, and Speaking of Buckingham’s (Fleetwood Mac’s) classic “Go Insane” (which we weren't) . . . Video at YouTube - Lindsey Buckingham "Go Insane" Acoustic Live 3/23/07 is AMAZING! So of course I’m immediately motivated to scr*w with the lyrics while waiting for a call from home. Ergo:
Two kinds of DCS on this dive:
Type I, Type II
I lost my pony on this dive
Because I did not use it
So I go into deke
Like I always do
And I call the dive
It's a lot like you.
