Subject: Re: do it
Ski, you just made me think here - I forgot that we use the slow
inflators, and the stroke wings use the fast ones - good point. I also
have my argon inflator reg detuned to where it will not deliver very
fast - for obvious reasons. 

A good diver anticipates his buoyancy, a stroke has bondage wings . A
great diver needs little or no bc action, since he has the correct gear
in the first place.
