Hi guys,  I'm new to the list (two days).  Took a while to find you 
guys, guess I just wasn't asking the right people. :-)  As an 
introduction I dive in the northeast off New Jersey, occasionally make 
it out to Long Island.  I'm sure I've met some of you on dive boats.

poor DM or something.

Again sorry for the simple, but hopefully not obvious question.
Safe diving,
Art.

certification dive. They came up with 150 and 200 psi in their tanks, 
their instroketer was saying on the boat "boy, it's a good thing I had 
my pony and spair air, or there could have been real trouble". Yes, he 
actually had a 30 pony AND a very beat up spare air dangling off his
