That looks complicated. What I do is throw the 02 reg 
hose over my head, open the valve on the 02 bottle, 
drop the 50/50 reg, put the 02 reg in my mouth and 
breathe.

Then to double check I'm on the 02, I close the
valve on the 50 bottle.

>That was last week. When was your last dive, Billy?

Eight days ago. I canned Sunday's dive 'cause there
was a big swell and visibility was down to a metre. 
I'm shooting on Friday, so that's a full diving day.

This, of course, flies in the face of every piece
of research that's been done on narcosis. Which is
why you're such a dishonest, deceitful, dangerous
piece of shit.

Hugo, on doesn't have to dive AT ALL to see the 
dangers of diving deep on air when there's a deep-air 
bimbo like you around to illustrate the point.

You should go to dive shows and sit on the stage 
like 'Clyde' at revival meetings. You'd be a perfect 
drooling, shambling, mindless moron who serves as an 
example of the dangers of deep air.

But in one small respect, you're right. I don't dive 
as much as I'd like to. I dive every day when we're 
shooting and only manage once or twice a fortnight 
in between.

No. You should start using it instead of air on 
your deep dives. But maybe, in your case, it's
too late.

Yep. Our diving is a lot more, shall we say, 
challenging.

Yeah, with left hoses over the left shoulder and
right hoses over the right shoulder and all 
tied to the inflator hoses. What a clusterfuck. And 
twin independents and you can't even remember which
side is your deco mix on. And what about the steel 
tanks you're waiting for so you can overweight your 
wet-suited clients? Hugo, you're a clown.

Anyone foolish enough to take instruction from 
a dangerous, dishonest, ignorant stroke like you 
has arrived at the bottom of the barrel.
