The "Strokiest" Configuration 1. Use Inverted twins (out of sheer perversity) with an isolator and only 1 reg. 2. 1 tank is filled with trimix, the other is filled with 100% O2, the isolator is closed. 3. Do your dive on the first tank, this tank has a J valve set at about 1500psi instead of 500. When the J valve kicks in and it becomes hard to breathe, you reach back and open the isolator. The pressure will equalize and you now have a high %o2 deco mix to ascend on. Don't forget to close the isolator. 4. You do ascend at 50m/minute don't you?...This allows you to reduce the PO2 before you tox and gets you out of deep water where it is dangerous. And nasty. And dark! 5. Stop at 21m until the J valve kicks in again. Reach back and pull the J valve reserve lever which allows you to breathe the deco mix until empty. 6. Then open the isolator which allows the remainder of the 100% O2 to be available and start a 2nd rocket ascent to 6m. 7. Stay there until the tanks are dry and float to the surface. 8. You can now happily breath O2 from your O2 clean spare air as a safety measure while you wait for the pickup boat. It's all good!!!! No SPG (point of failure) No 2nd reg (point of failure) No complex dive planning (point of human error) No bottom timer/computer (point of human error and point of failure) It's foolproof and I am licensing the concept to TDI. Money money money!!! The lack of redundancy shouldn't be an issue - their founder (Gilliam) dives to 400 ft on a single Ally 80 on air doesn't he??? WARNING! THIS PRACTICE COULD BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: quest-unsubscribe@gu*.co* For additional commands, e-mail: quest-help@gu*.co* -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
