Hi Trey, As per your request, my favorite stroke comment about mix is an instructor saying "I dive to 165 ft. on air all the time and do just fine. So if you set the END of your bottom mix to 165 ft., you'll have no problems and you end up saving the cost of the excess Helium needed for an unnecessary lower END." Take care and dive safe, Scott Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and scramble up out of the pit.

If dive instructor has told you that, you are dealing with the worst kind of idiot. There are many more like this, but I am having tough time shifting gears to what is wrong from what is correct. Maybe some of you could bring these things up , since you are exposed to them all the time. I only hear dumb things on lists, obviously the people I dive with are of a different level of understanding. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Gibson [mailto:dgibson@b-*.co*] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 3603 12:44 AM Subject: Re: Decompression DIR style To: techdiver@aquanaut.com George mentioned something about helium and old wives tales. Since I don't know enough about this subject and probably have not heard all of them, could they be listed like other things (Baker's Dozen and Why we don't do bounce dives)? I think it would be helpful to know when you come across bad info. Thanks, Dan >> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
