Chris, the only risk with the Cis is dying of natural causes - in fact
is has happened three times now. As long as Richie stays out of
"Walmart", he should be ok. The CIS is extremely simple - the epitome of
KISS. That is why Nobel Prize winning physicists from MIT have no
trouble using it. The reason they use the Cis is so they don't have to
make up trimix. In fact timix is so difficult that the CIS will not let
you use it until you have 100 hours on the unit. This way you can dive
air in a 17,000 rebreather, like a real moron.

In other words, I think we all can see that theree is not one person on
this cc list who can make any sense of air diving, and the more they
talk , the dumber they look.

I see Turbeville on the cc list - he must be wondering how some of this
would sound as a defense to the dumbest thing being practiced on this
planet in this day and age outside of the Zioncoptic Church. Fo you
marines, the Z Chruch is a bunch of characters in Miami who say that pot
smoking is a religion.

I think those guys make a better case than you guys do, but who can
afford pot when air is so cheap?
