Translation: If I can't do deep dives with alloy 80's and 40's of deco gas, you all can't either. So stop doing it, OK? >Where does it say we have no redundancy?

Translation: Don't argue with me about technical diving, I came top in the retail module. >The Genesis tanks are easily swimmable with a wet suit. If I'm late for the dive, like the time I got stuck in the chair at the diner, only the shitty tanks are left. However, I smile and try to put on a brave face. >LP tanks are >routinely filled to almost the HP working pressure. Translation: I donlt know anything about filling tanks, either. >Also for our dive above 200' we are using a single LP 120 >overpressurised with a Y or H valve on our back. This is easier >than double 80's on the boat and in the water. >We still carry stage AL 80's. Translation: Gearing up for the boat instead of the dive is a good idea. SO is avoiding doubles whenever possible. A huge, overblown steel tank with two regs on your back and an 80 with another reg on your front is always better than streamlined doubles. Except past 200ft where I make up another set of nonsensical rules to fool you idiots with. >Errol >You better go check the archives and get your facts straight before you open >your big mouth. I do dive DIR in caves and a modified DIR in the ocean. >I'm sorry if you can't take a little constructive criticism. >I will also bet I have much more diving experience than you. Translation: I am the best diver I know. And no-one can be better than me. Therefore I must be better than everyone else. This means ALL of you. You're all dog's dicks. No exceptions. > Why don't some of you WKPP guys volunteer any of your "close call stories" so > that we all may learn?

I have not spent much time on the list (because all you dog's dicks keep laughing me off) so I am unaware that the WKPP has an open information policy. I am also unable to use archives. >Karen >As an attorney I can say your posts are right on the money. Everyone on the list >should reread your thread. In this case Irvine is way out of his league. He should >stick with what he knows and quit giving advice that borders on criminal ignorance. > Bill Translation: Now listen up! I wan't you all to understand three things, right? 1. I am an attorney and you are dog's dicks. 2. I don't like George. 3. I have little or no self-control. Therefore whenever anyone appears to be against George on these lists - even a muppet like Karen, I leap to support her. I fantasize about a group of lawyers 'getting' George. In my fantasy I run up and down the sidelines shouting encouragement. "Get him, get him, get him!" I shriek. (I have a very loud voice). When it's all over, I babble incoherent nonsense about legalities which I clearly do not understand. Sometimes I get very excited. Once or twice I even had to go change my underwear. >George you STILL do not get it. > Our little discussion centers around your alleged DIR technique in deep > ocean dives, nothing less and nothing more. (In spite of your constant whining). >(snip) By the way I agree with DIR in caves and intermediate ocean. But for deep > dives. sorry you gotta be safe. Translation: Because I don't like George, I'm going to say that DIR is unsafe. I have no evidence to support me, and no system that is better. But here's the really clever part (I'm a lawyer, remember?): If I screw my eyes tight shut, and stick my fingers in my ears, I will never hear about all the people 'round the world who conduct deep dives safely using the DIR method. So I can just ignore the information. And all you dog's dicks will never know. Neat trick huh? >Just show up on a DEEP ocean dive of 25 to 30 min duration in your eighties >and forties and then we will see who is laughing. Translation: One of you better explain Rule 1 to me. Again. >We make one long dive rather than two bounces. Translation: That way, we can do three times the deco. Clever eh? >By the way I agree with DIR in caves and intermediate ocean. >(I) Never commented on cave diving. Translation: I don't tell lies. The truth just comes out all bent, honest. >Safely doing it right IS my system. >Von Translation: The words 'safely' 'right' and 'system' mean anything I want them to. I'm the lawyer remember? And you're all dog's dicks. >The only necessity for the redundant BC is to offset the gas requirements. >Really it is never used unless in an emergency. Translation: I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I don't know why the fuck I'm doing it, either. But that's OK. If you think I'm good here, you should hear the gibberish I come up with in court. Doesn't matter. The people I defend are all dog's dicks. So are the judges. I can fool them too.... just like I fool all of you. No probs... Sheesh I'm good... I'm a lawyer, remember. Nothing dog dick about me.... Yessirree.... etc... rgrds billyw -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
