Wings & Backplate don’t care how big you are. Get real gear ^^. Don’t waste your effort on “recreational” crap.

Here’s Gene’s place. Atlantic Divers

No real shore diving. Vis is badly affected by Delaware Bay water. Gene Peterson has relocated his dive operation there, a little googling will find it. I think there’s a chance you’ll find a boat there next summer.

yes, but that’s not pouring shot into a bag. >I’m bored with this now<

It will never even approach the density of a solid. This is basic matrix geometry.

Let me know when you find solid tungsten blocks in a size suitable for diving weights, since you can’t cast your own. “interstitial”. Google it.

The actual point is this: For any given volume, solid lead blocks will be denser than packed tungsten shot. The size of the shot isn’t relevant. And since I can purchase solid lead dive weights But I cannot purchase solid tungsten ones, I can categorically say that there is no advantage to...

Tungsten shot, no matter how small, is less dense per cubic anything than solid lead. There’s a fixed ratio between the solids and the interstitial voids in any matrix of spheres of any size. It’s immutable. There would be zero advantage. In a random pack of spheres it’s about 65% as dense as a...

Yes, they are. They are most certainly export controlled items.

Conspiracy in itself is a federal crime. That’s one of the charges. The US Attorneys Office never loses. Take that to the bank. Sotis is going to learn a new vocation at the expense of the taxpayer, sheet metal trade would be my guess.

The fact that they took 2+ years to seek an indictment means that they took their time to collect a lot more evidence than that. The Federal AG’s don’t lose. He’ll cooperate, plead, and try to get a downward departure from the federal sentencing guidelines in return. This is why I predict 3...

Sotis will do time for this. He’s a repeat offender. Previous conviction for armed robbery. Featured on “America’s Most Wanted” at one time. Based on past history as a fugitive (3 years on the lam from my memory) he will be declared a flight risk at his arraignment with either no bail or a very...

Meg-15 is a bit newer than the rig I'm diving, and not sure how it's connected to this thread. Haven't even seen one.

All good. The mishap scenarios are classics. Your ideas as to what occurred in this case is the most likely thing to have occurred. There are other possibilities, but the simplest reasons are usually the actual causes. Guys removing the gag strap to facilitate bailout are not thinking this...

It's funny: when Will Smithers came up with the breath-counting method of blind CCR escape he was engaged in developing procedures for getting out of caves that reduced bailout consumption. At that time just about every diver diving a rebreather knew this method, understood it, and carried it as...

With all due respect, what have you contributed? Try giving. It feels good.

>it would be nice to be able to delete a message when you fat-finger and screw up the quoting formats<

You missed that -when conducting the dive- "my" technique, which works "for me" doesn't find me using my wings. If you dive differently, good for you. Enjoy. And that -on the surface- the wings are your (and my) best friend. Use them. And close your DSV. ;-) Let's guide ourselves back to the...

Not so. It's a mandatory part of advanced training. There's no need to use precious bailout to get back to the anchor line in many cases. And when you really dive deep, you're not going to be carrying as much bailout as you might like. Do many 400 footers lately? Come talk to me when it's...
