You guy's amaze me. I tell the guy's on the diveboat about your incredible bottom times and deco scheduals and they shit. By the way, I had an interesting discussion on an overnighter I did on thursday night. I voiced my opinions about deep air, being narced, the recent deaths etc. 2 things came to light: 1. Of course you get narced doing deep air, ain't that what it's all about? 2. OK, so we don't work too well narced, how we gonna handle the logistics with trimix out on a boat? For example, there was this trip on the monitor. The first dive everybody had trimix in their tanks. On the second dive, trimix all gone, so they did it on air (220'). I ventured that, hey if you don't have the mix, then don't do the dive. That was a conversation stopper if there ever was one. Another guy said he was fine on the Ethel C. (170), but watched his buddy get tangled up in his wreck line (on a contiguous wreck with 60' vis), finally chopping the line away and cutting off his gear bag in the process. I said, is this guy always an idiot, no, he had hundreds of dives and was normally good with a wreckreel. Weeeeelllll, maybe he was narced? Uh, yeah, I guess so.... The point is that no ones getting the point. Being narced and merryly setting off on dives is simply the lifestyle of divers around here. I'm wasting my time. Jim On 10/12/97 7:19 PM G.
