John, I can not follow what you are saying. Why is is safer to have the reg you
share hidden away,and what is the difference between having the short hose
around your neck on a leash or not on a leash (as in the case of the short hose
breather).
Proper gear config makes being a good buddy a lot easier, John, not a
"crutch". I would not want this attitude within the boundaries of the place I
was diving, nor would I go out on a boat that had people with this attitude -
luckily, again , I don't have to put up with this kind of nonsense - nobody in
our group thinks that way, and when we go out wreck diving, we call the ball.
Rule number one applies to people who can not deal with bad situations properly
- the quintessential "stroke" , hence the importance we place on this rule.
There is no "proper" way to stuff a long hose, is there?
"Travel" gas is a term used for the gas breathed until the bottom mix
is breathable, or in cave diving, if there is a distance at a shallow
depth followed by a deep depth. Diving deep on air, and euphamisticly
referring to it a "travelling" reminds me of the Merle Haggard song,
where he sings "we don't take our trips on LSD". When you are through with
ANY gas, it should be turned off and the regulator stowed - ask Sherwood
Schille. You will recall he drowned with about 200 cubic feet of gas on
him - he just didn't know where - another reason I won't put up with
convoluted bullshit from anyone diving with me - discipline keeps you
alive.
Excuses to cover other convolutions is ridiculous. You still
have not said why stuffing is a good idea. I think you made some
irrecoveralble typos in the other post, as I can not understand the meaning.
It looks like you are saying one should breath the long hose, but then
you say no. Which is it?
Another thing, JC, stop calling this thing a "technique". As you can see,
John, I am trying to avoid use of the "S" word, and am taxing the limit
of my English vocabulary to do so. I reallly suspect that you are suffering
from deco fear, and working your diving around it. My suggestion - throw
away the Crea tables and get on with it- you're a tough guy - don't be a
deco weenie. - G
