Randy, Since you are new to tech diving, and need some info, I thought I'd extend you the Tech Diver "are you o.k?" sign, and give you some pointers to terms used on this board. They are as follows: 1. Tech Diver: Any dude who has enough money to buy more equipment than he can possibly wear underwater, but wears it anyway so he can look cool in front of the DiveMaster's 18 yr. old daughter. 2. Cave Diver: A species of Homo Sapiens which is known for a disproportionate ratio of gonads to brains, with most specimens exhibiting at least a 3:1 ratio. 3. Rebreather Diver: A Tech Diver (See above) with more money than anyone. 4. Stroke: Something Tech Divers do to themselves when they aren't diving. 5. SMD: "Some Magnificent Diving!" usually screamed in your face by George when you show up at his dive site looking like a "Tech Diver" above. 6. Personal Preference: Usually the last words uttered by a true Tech Diver as defined above. 7. Long Hose: The line that runs from your keg to your tap. 8. Short Hose: The line that runs from your tap to your mouth. 9. Pony Bottle: The flask that you fill from your short hose so you can have a "nip" underwater. 10. Side Mount: What all the other divers do with your girlfriend while you are in the water dressed as a Tech Diver as defined above. I sure hope this helps. You'll pick up the rest as you go along... Kevin. HeyyDude
