Jt, not the feet thing again - I thought you were going to pull some =
real bullshit. I'd like to know what feet has to do with wreck diving , =
and do not tell me it is because the dumb fucks up there don't mark =
their bottles so can not understand yours.
The more crap you put on the bottle , the bigger than chance of a =
misread .
There is only one piece fo information that is necessary on that bottle =
when in use, and that is the MOD. Go back and read our gas mixing rules, =
our transport rules, our marking rules and our deployment rules to see =
how the entire system works.=20
Piecemeal compromising bullshit does not work and leads to a screwup.=20
See the WKPP.org website for a FULLl explanation.

I have no beef with you, you may find it hard to believe that I =
actually care what happens to the people that dive with me, after being =
on 3 trips that divers lost their life on, it makes me very cautious =
with what goes on during the predive and dive. Ok, so there was 2 =
questions if you want to count that last one, the answer is Yes. ;-)

I don't know you nor MHK, and don't care if either of you guys =
use alu 80. The people I dive with don't use alu 80 as stages in the =
ocean. When I am visiting Florida, I use 2 X alu 40 for 50% and O2. At =
home (Europe or Asia), I use 2 X alu 7L. And that's more than enough for =
down to 300 ft.
=20
Ask George if he uses alu 80 for the ocean dives!
=20
I wasn't stabbing at you. I didn't understand why any Capt or =
divers (not my buddies) would care how I mark my stages or what gas I =
have in my tanks (providing I don't do deep air, etc.). I don't dive =
with them eventhough we go out on the same boat since I would have my =
buddies. And if they need to grab a bottle in case of emergency, the =
content is marked by tape at the tank neck.
=20
So basically, I was only disagreeing with your reasoning for the =
need to add "FT" after the MOD.
=20
That's not some DIR party-lines, JT. It's just common sense! And =
stop been so damn defensive, not everybody is looking to flame other =

I re-read mine, and there were actually 2 questions :-)

Below in BOLD is the section about stages written by =
George Irvine and is still on the WKPP org. web site in the equipment =
section. Since most NE wreckers have turned their back on techdiver due =
to GI tactics, the only source of information they can get without being =
pounded "WKPP wanna bees" is this site or others who are doing nothing =
more than sniffing GI butt with this same copied info.=20
Stages should be aluminum 80's.=20
Right off the bat they can see that GI is off his =
rocker, he has already told everyone not to change any of his system, =
they already know that it is much easier to carry a 45 steel stage than =
an eighty on a wreck dive. Alum 40's are better for wreck dives, easier =
to manage, but he does not say that in this on the site.=20
These swing equally from negative to=20
positive with air, less negative with gas, by the =
amount of the air or=20
gas carried. They are rigged with stainless steel =
bolt snaps, the size=20
of which is determined by whether or not your diving =
requires gloves,=20
They have already figured this out also, except =
Brass will do at less cost, they dive cold water so they knew about the =
size for the gloves LONG before he did.=20
and those are attached by a piece of 1/4" line run =
under a hose clamp=20
halfway down the tank and tied to the neck. The =
upper clip should be=20
tight to the break of the neck, the lower clip =
should have plenty of=20
tail to work with. The bottle needs to be held close =
in the front and=20
lose in the back to prevent drag. There should NEVER =
be any metal to=20
metal connections of any part of your rig.=20
This is something they would not know or understand, =
UNLESS you have scootered with stages and without.
=20
=20
=20
=20
=20
=20
Stages need to be permanently marked as to their =
maximum operating=20
depth in three inch high letters placed horizontally =
in the orientation=20
of the tank on either side so that the diver can see =
what he is=20
breathing, and so can his buddy, no mater where the =
tank is. The stage=20
reg is rigged with a short pressure gauge which is =
bent back on itself=20
to face the diver and held in place by bungee cord =
at the first stage,=20
The reg hose must be the octopus length. The stage =
regs are always=20
parked on the bottle and the bottle turned off =
unless in use. Stages are=20
generally worn on the left side for streamlining, =
and because of the=20
position and balance of the rest of the gear and the =
other hoses so as=20
not to interfere with the operation of any other =
gear, as well as the=20
scooter , which is driven with the right hand, =
favoring the right side.=20
Is this the best reasons you can write about for =
marking stages? A lot of the divers dive SOLO like it or not, so that =
buddy stuff is a waste to them.Also don't hold your breath, while your =
waiting for everyone to start buddy diving , deal with what their doing =
now. Breathing correct gas is good, easy to see what your breathing.
=20
=20
To deploy a stage, we look for the correct depth =
marking, we put the=20
reg around our neck, we then turn on the bottle , =
put the reg in our=20
mouth, and if we can breath, we are breathing the =
correct gas. It is=20
just that simple. No other convolutions are =
necessary, and would only add=20
to the chance for error.=20
Yes it is very simple, but you need to put it out so =
they can understand it and why they should do it.=20
The 3" marking work very well for our group here, =
for the very deep dives I like to have my stages delivered to me, my =
name and MOD are on them , it also puts the support diver with me to =
make sure everything is OK.=20
Should I need extra gas I need only point to the =
markings and the support diver can go to the boat and any bottle will do =
as they are all mark with 3"MOD just get one that matches what I need. =
This can be done on any dive, if a diver is low on needed gas all he has =
to do is point to the MOD and his name, that way we know who is in =
trouble. Also makes it is easy for the crew to locate extra gas for him =
if everyone is marking their tanks the same way, it is not a CF trying =
to read those little bullshit tags that fall off.=20

I will only answer one of those bullshit questions =
below.
