Perhaps you shouldn't say this in this particular thread.

Ok... if ya' gotta' out-gas... ya' gotta' out-gas... but somehow, reading this thread I got reminded about a show I saw on the Bermuda Triangle thing and the ship sinkings... and how they theorized that it might be related to methaine releases from the ocean floor... and, well... contemplating the 'fish lying on the ocean floor' thing I got to wondering... given the given Boyle's Law and all...

IF YA' GOTTA' OUT-GAS... don't... PLEASE don't do it at depth and directly under your dive boat... and definately don't coordinate your efforts with your buddy... even if the boat does't sink from the reduced surface tension on the water... you're really gonna' need those guys up there....

... back to the morning coffee... fun thread...

Just a heads up, guys . . .

FROM THE TOS

Language or material that, in context, depicts or describes (in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary standards for the broadcast medium) sexual or excretory organs or activities is prohibited. The ScubaBoard staff foresees that this area may be the hardest to enforce as individuals may differ on their interpretation. Therefore our rule is to assume a standard equivalent to that of a professional working environment for a large corporate entity.

Let's not go there, OK?

This was the best thread in months! We should be able to behave like 10 year olds every once in a while! Ha! :klo: (Just Kidding D)

In my drysuit experience, the following apply:

1. Be sure you're venting gas.

2. Respect the "power" of such gas when "de-suiting."

Watch this link.

Yep, "explosive..."
