This has been interesting -

The thread commenced with a discussion of a substitute for the Jersey
Reel, a rather bulky piece of gear used by N.Atl Wreck Divers as a
back-up, tethered to wreck decompression stop device.

A posting on use of cross wreck reels for both purposes (ascent, if
necessary, penetration/way back, if so used) drew a flame or two, & two
sub themes (subthemes were - should way back lines be used & deco
procedures in the UK (read high current).

Much learning was going on, even with the flames of the ignoramus who
think they know all & have the flexibility of a steel ball bearing when
it comes to 'novel' or 'alien' prodecures.  What compounds that is they
fail read and/or comprehend the subtelties of the well formed electrons
& fire away. What a waste, as then it becomes hard to give them
credence.

Just some thoughts.

Thanks for enlightening me about deco procedures in the UK.  Actually
similar procedures are used drift diving/drift diving wrecks in
Florida.  The UK does have the 'sausage' with one way fill system.  We
have to rely on a lift bag (some even have a diver down painted on it!)

I want the sausage - will call AP VAlves!

Regards & good diving
