This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0071_01C20CB0.25105540 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hey guys, I don't know if you guys caught this little gem that Dr. Quack posted to = rec. scuba but I really thought a bunch of you would really get a kick = out of this.. Here's a guy that get's on here and argues with everyone = because of his superior knowledge, so I thought I'd share with you = exactly how little this guy actually knows. It appears that he is in his TDI tech diving class, and posted this = report about his class: From Dr. Black: Of all the useless skills taught in technical diver training, this has to rank as numero uno. The idea of inflating a lift bag to perform drifting deco is, where I dive in the Great Lakes, useless. Maybe you ocean divers are doing this lots, but it just doesn't happen around here, and if it ever did happen, the boat captain who would have to chase after you would be one unhappy skipper. On the other hand, using a lift bag(s) to raise a heavy object is a skill that does get used, and has practical value. But shooting a lift bag, as in technical diver training, is something you do once or twice as a student, then never again as a diver. Cheers from Icediver (stepping down from the soapbox). Sorta makes you really wonder what they hell they teach at TDI, huh??? ------=_NextPart_000_0071_01C20CB0.25105540 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hey guys,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I don't know if you guys caught this = little gem=20 that Dr. Quack posted to rec. scuba but I really thought a bunch of you = would=20 really get a kick out of this..
