    Hog D1, updside down breathing is difficult

    I watched Steve Martin doing a lot of (reverse trim) or basically dive with his back against bottom and face toward surface. I tried to do that twice and almost got suffocated. once in a single backmount, then, 6 months later in a sidemount (2 tanks). no more cirque du soleil for me.

    When to ditch weight?

    as far as I remember, I once came across a site that details diving accidents, like, what was the cause, paramedic/recovery report, sometimes even dive buddy side of story. I traced dive accident up until the 90s. all in all, no one talked about ditchable weight as a factor to survivability nor...
