- # of dives
- I just don't log dives
1 I don't use a "tube" to breath at the top
2 I lift my mask to the forhead at the top
3 I have gotten allmost all of my gear from ebay or yard sales or craigslist
4 I do all of my repairs and service all of my gear,,,,,yes I have all the manuals for this as well as having the background in the fields
5 my air compressor has a charcole and wool filter after the water separator and I will not change this out to a x13 or any other cimacal junk to take the water out of the air,,,,I fill my tanks with a stop watch in hand and am smart euogh to dump the water out of the perfilter at timed intervels.
6 I solo dive every dive, even if there are others diving at the same time I am diving. I'm not there to save some one, I'm there to dive after whatever I'm diving for.....now If I see some one having an isue, I'll lend a hand. however be that as it may thats not why I'm there.....
7 I come up faster then what my computer thinks is safe yet here I am typing this drivel
8 I dive overhead,deep,dark, and just about anything I Feel is safe for me........I Feel is safe
9 yea I piss the suit......there are kinds of peolpe.....those that will tell you they piss the suit and those that lie about it
10 I don't give a flying fish what padi (put another dallor in) thinks about how or when or whear or what maner I dive.
11 I don't spend any money at a LDS unless I have too, most of them are only trying to get free warmwater dive trips by filling seats on dive boats. I dive here at home in the USA my money go's to other countrymen for food gas and moltels/camping enters fee's to state parks or nationl parks.
12 I buy manuals online and study them myself, do all the drills......weed out the stuff that don't work for me and keep what dose.....I don't make a religon out of any one from or disaplin.
13 now here's the one that I am working on.......I don't take in as much water as I know I should after a dive!
14 I hate selfporclaimed Scuba gods that seem to live on these froums that have all this insite but never realy have time to realy go out and dive.
15 and I reall hate these butt-heads that show up at the dive sight with all there (brand new gear) and jump in and porceed to silt the place out leaving it undiveable for the rest......But hey thats not my sin so I'll stop right here!
I am not in anyway trying to say that anyone should do what I do, I do what I do as one, I have the time,two I don't have the money to dive any other way (I'm one of the 99%) this sport started out being just onther way for hunters to hunt.....
now it's all about money and making it so SAFE that it gets people that should not be doing it all, like the XXXL people (sorry if that hurts, there are ways to not be one of the XXXL peole).......Fear is one of the best ways to get the masses to do what the few want!
I would like to take this moment to thank all those here for the geart opratunity to B!ch about all of this......It was good for me,how about you?
