Subject: Re: Philosophy, Was: streamlining of scuba gear
This is the kind of mindless crap I am talking about with you. 190
"borderline" for air vs trimix? Explain that , big time? Let me guess -
you are "good on air". You clearly have little or no education based on
your malapropisms and misuse of words, but you are "good on air"? Give
me a break - you aren't any good right here at one ata on techdiver. 

The fact is you do not know any better, but that is not stopping you
from dispensing information with the authority and arrogance that only
comes with ignorance.

"Poney" ( sic pony) of oxygen back mounted a "wash" with staging? Again
- no clue - you do not see the inherent risk in having a gas behind your
back that is let turned on, has a reg hanging over your shoulder with
all the rest that you can not identify other than by some arcane method
that will not work in a pinch, and SURE AS HELL will not work while you
are on "air at 190". 

Again, this is "techdiver" - not bullshit diver. People are on here so
that they do no have to do the stupid things that you do. While you may
serve as a power of example of how NOT to do things, the problem is that
those of us who see clear through your ignorance will have to keep
pointing it out evey time you open your Navy Seal 25,000 dive mouth.

You want to criticize me and my methods? Let's see you argue any of them
without looking like a complete idiot. You can't do it.

Just about at the border depth for air V/S trimix. 

Side mount the poney or
back-mount like olden days? Not sure best answer.
For sure an overpumped 40 is going to be enough 02,
though. Side mount does me little real advantage here,
I'm a slow swimmer and not covering much ground.
Snagging hazards of the back-rig V/S the side rig are
about a wash. The ladder splash-zone environment is
easier to deal with using the back-mount.
