Dave, thanks for the reply! At what point do you worry that O2 is going to kill you? How closely do you monitor your depth? When I'm doing my 3 minute safety I like to stay between 10 and 18 feet. However, it does happen that I drop to 22 feet on occasion. Granted, I'm not hyper concerned with my depth, and maybe I'm drifting because I'm bored and fiddling with gear or looking at fish...but it does happen. My concern is mainly that if this happens with O2, will you tox, or do you have a reasonable leeway? I just ordered a spool, a sausage and a float, and I did make a Jonline, so I'll start to practice some of that stuff in anticipation of getting some more training. I'm thinking about a reel as well, but I'm not sure which one to get. BTW, when you do a hang from your float, do you have a weight attached to the float? Sorry for all the questions, I'm jumping the gun a bit, I probably wont have a chance to try any of this out until August anyway. Cheers. David Chamberlin wrote: ~ >Paul, > >I agree with Dave.

And rig up a jon-line. Just watch out if you're hooked in to the anchor line -- Paul Braunbehrens mailto:Bakalite@ba*.co* http://www.daw-mac.com Mailing list for digital audio on the mac -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
