Bob, you havbe missed the point - why are all of these strokes still
diving the wrong way? Can't find a regulator? THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT FOR A YEAR: it is called STROKERY, and that is what is being taught in
diving , and that is why we have so many problems. This is one of the times
that
it was witnessed, rather than the usual not knowing what happened. Anyone who
is
still stuffing hoses is just a dumb fuck, no other explanation needed
Breath the "octopus", and hang the backup around your neck, or quit
diving. There are just too many hard-headed idiots out there, and they would be
better off taking up another sport if they can not get this one right
