If you can, I am all ears. Jane Orenstein died because she didn't know which deco gas she was breathing for 20 minutes and neither did her instructor. Had she marked, worn and deployed he deco as per the Doing It Right method, she would have breathed the right gas and survived. Relying on left and right placement to ID deco gasses is stupidity of the lowest order. Something you seem to be quite practised at. Why don't you take your bullshit, stupidity and misinformation over to rec. scuba where you can impress a bunch of people who know no better, instead of standing up here on techdiver and screaming "LOOK AT ME, I'M JOHNNY WALKER AND I'M DUMBER THAN DOGSHIT." billyw > If you are as you say, only an advanced open water diver, than what >makes you feel that you know so much about technical diving anyhow. >Take some training and tell the instructor that you would like to wear >two stages on your left side and swim around for 20 minutes or so.
