  NOT NECESSARY - YOU EITHER ARE IN BALANCE OR YOU ARE NOT - 

      2.   Avoid exercise/exercion immediately following dive.

   NOT TRUE - I DO WHATEVER I WANT. I RAN 13 MILES BEFORE I DOVE THIS

3.  Avoid strenuous exercise before dive.

   NO SHIT

    YES

     I DON'T DRINK IT EVER - WHY BOHTER UNLESS YOI WANT TO GET HAMMERED,
AND THAT DOES NOT MIX WITH THIS SPORT?

  NO, DO THE DIVE AND DECO CORRECTLY - MORE DECO IS BULLSHIT AND CAUSES
MORE PROBLEMS THAT IT SOLVES

  NO WAY - THIS IS CRAZY

    YES

    NO, USE A SLOW ASCENT FROM 20 TO 0 AS IN 1 FT PER MINUTE FOR A LONG
DIVE.

  10.  Ascend no faster than 30fsw per minute.

     YES

      NOT TRUE - JUST DO NOT WORK THE JOINTS TOO MUCH UNDER PRESSURE

      NOTHING TO DO WITH DIVING, BUT A GOOD IDEA OTHERWISE

>      13.  Seldom dive air.

      DIVE AIR IF YOU CAN NAME THE DEPTH FOR WHICH IT IS THE CORRECT
GAS  -
