Big Dick - I just talked to one of the WKPP women who did that Ozark dive. Here is what she said - "double 80's at best" - "300 profile" "you'd have to wallow in the mud to get even 340" - "we all used aluminum 40's for deco" - "the water is freezing at the bottom" - " we did 20 minutes for most of these dive and at most 30 but the depth is not what that guy is saying" - etc, etc. Busted as full of shit again. As Bill Mee so eloquently put it - u'r an idiot. bigvon@be*.ne* wrote: > > Dave, > Over 300 feet for longer than a 10 or 15 minute bounce dive. > > The only necessity for the redundant BC is to offset the gas requirements. > Really it is never used unless in an emergency.
