You have to go to jersey for the real bizarro stuff, >or of course the quarry.............. Yep , I am just as guilty , and have come up with some real weird stuff in tha past. So there is Allways room for improvement , and destroking , if you find yoursef reverting back to convoluted setups. I think it goes to mans urge to constantly try to improve on something , and our ego that we can do it better , our way. (I remember getting "destroked" during full cave , and then a general trend started back towards the NE wreck way of doing things . Since I bowed out of diving , I have done a lot of thinking , and some reading , as well as following the list , and listing to the arguments for and agenst. once you listen long enought , it starts to dawn on you , that its a complete system , thoght out as a complete system , and realy needs to be implemented as a complete system . Any major changes , amd it all starts to break down., couase its all built on top of the other parts. ie I Allways kept by english light on the left side ! Why , simply becouse thats where I fist put it. Only after reading up on it , and finding that the light goes on the right side ! Why ! To hold the long hose under the light. Why , it goeas around the head and in you mouth. (I have allways looped it behind the manifold) so when an OOA situation comes up they can take it from you knowing its working and deploy iy with out it snaging behind the manifold. See what I mean , its all thought out , move the light to the other side and it doewsent work. Even if I had tried it , it wouldent have worked cause I keep the cnaster on the left side , and swung the bottles on the right. Why , thats just the way I initialy set it up. You set one component up wrong , and it all wont come together. So yes I will take you up on your offer and give a shout when ready as I realy need to rework every thing top to bottem. Its a realy good time , as I haven been in the water for a long time , and the "memory"efect will be minimal , and it will all be strange any way , so i am just as well to rework it all , and keep the dives mellow and get comfterable agien. >Anytime you are up for it, give me a shout. > >rgds, > >Al Marvelli > > >Samy Elashmawy wrote: > >> Hi al , >> >> Your DIR Right ? >> >> Wow 27 hour no diving , and just chumming the sea , what a day. >> I know the Wahoo , and was curios about the reaction abouard towards DIR ? >> Ypu crew on a boat out of brooklyn right ? >> >> Not meny DIR up here in the NE. >> How meny are there that are active up hear , and how meny of them are also >> active cave if at all ? >> >> Is the line cutting shenanagans still going all , or do they leav the >> lines intill you real yourself out ? >> >> Just curios , as I havent been diving in a few years , but hope on doing >> some easy mellow stuff this year if I heal up any time soon. thanks >> >> Sammy >> >> At 04:05 PM 5/20/2000 -0400, Al Marvelli wrote: >> >Hello folks, >> > >> >I hate to send another useless email for the non involved, but I had a >> >problem with my email inbox, I had to destroy the old one and lost all >> >my old mail, and my addresses etc so if you sent me a note about a deal >> >we had going and I have not replied, please please send me another one. >> >Especially Jim and Skip.
