I have a buddy that is diving double steel 95's. He called to tell me he had a bad dive. Said he forgot to turn on he isolator valve on and as he was diving he started to ascend and could not stop until he grabbed the down line,let all the air out of his wing and drysuit, but still was to buoyant.
I guessed he was not weighted properly and he said no all it was is that he breathed up one tank instead of breathing them both down equally. The guys he was diving with also agreed he says.
This doesnt make sense to me, the weight of the air is the same weather it comes out of one or both tanks. If any thing it would roll you,but not send you up. I tried to explain my way of thinking and he blew me off like I have no idea.
Am I missing something here???? Thanks Keith
