Dangerous lies?

12 #, the weight is under my crotch strap

Well now you are just bragging.

Well now you are just bragging.

When us old guys talk about our low SAC, we're not making it up.

It took me few hundreds of dives to lower my SAC from 0.8 to 0.4 cfm.

Here's one: you look at the video and pictures on a resort's website. Then you go there and find the dive conditions and the fish population nothing like the promotional video. Been there - done that.

The most dangerous lie I was ever told.....

"Sure.... go diving if you want to."

I was all ->

It was a sunny Saturday morning, and I though I had heard the sweet sound of a loving wife saying what she actually meant......

Those were the days before I was fluent in "lady-speak".

An ancient dialect I believe should be taught in public schools.

I have never felt more in danger than when I returned home and saw ..... then i was all ->...... That was the MOST dangerous lie!

Having seen any number of panicked divers, I can tell you that the first thing they do is get rid of the mask (by shoving it up on their forehead) and regulator.

Anyone who says that a mask on forehead ISN'T a sign of panic is lying.

What you say "the first thing they (panicked diver) do is get rid of the mask (by shoving it up on their forehead) may be true. That does not mean that every diver that has pushed their mask to their forehead is panicked. Your logic is faulty. I do it all the time and I have never been panicked. This is a dangerous assumprtion.

Well, air's "safer" since less ox-tox risk if you go deep compared to nitrox.
But nitrox, within its Max depth limit, is sort of safer in that there's less narcosis risk, huh? Aren't we, at say 125' on N-28, less of a narc risk than on air?

Absolutely false. Did you even take the Nitrox course?

In the context of recreational diver, is it OK to have all non-ditchable weight you are saying?

Yes I am saying that, for warm water diving. For cold water it's probably better to have some ditchable weight, but then again you have to balance the risk of losing weights unintentionally with the benefit of being able to immediately drop weight. I believe a big problem, especially for new divers, is that they are frequently overweighted and trying to compensate for poor diving technique with extra weight.

They don't tend to push you face down on the surface??

No they do not assuming the diver is properly weighted and not over inflated.

It is a sign of panicked diver sometimes. More often, it is a sign of a diver who is going to lose a mask.
