Re: How deep on air?

So....

Almost 1 year has elapsed since the birth of this thread. Did you recieve training or not?? I self taught, then I recieved training. It filled in a lot of gaps and pointed out some glarring assumptions I kidded myself into thinking were safe practice for deco. Namely gas planning for when shit goes south, when you have mandatory stops.
Any reflections you would like to share a year later?

Re: How deep on air?

Not me. Never was able to afford any further training so I have been taking it easy, not pushing the limits and trying to build on what I allready know. I have a wife and three kids that rely solely on me and I want to be there for them.

What I did do was improve my gear, get myself a 30 cube pony that is ALLWAYS at my side. Upgraded all my tanks to LP 121s.

Great thread, Why start over ?

You gotta love grown men going at it online.

Chubby guys talking about saftey

Reminds me of working at The Port Of Los Angeles. Having seen and heard Fatties talking about 'SAFETY' What a Frikin Joke

This one fatass was biatching about saftey (250 lb gal)

All I could think was
'Hey DUMBASS, Ever heard about the #1 Killer of Americans' Heart Disease

I felt like saying ' Yo Fatass, Wanna be safe ???????????
Try taking the fork out of your mouth you FAT CUBE OF BUTTER

Everybody needs 'SPECIAL TRAINING by a SPECIALIST' What a joke.



I say if someone wants to go for it LET THEM. People die everyday.
A diver died July 3rd right in front of my house.

If somebody wants to self train themself 'Let Them'

I just wish I could have read the deleted posts. Dam!

Keep up the self training Bulit7 Even Though You Are Going Against The Grain. Don't worry about the haters.

DockRat, I thought I was a pill! LOL

Yep, you missed some major shit talkin!! It was started due to my flashing sig pic. Let me see if I can find it... All the uglies on the site started to gang up on me and shit went down hill. Then we kissed and made up!!!!

Mike is actually a nice guy, we just got started on the wrong foot.

Oh how silly it all seems a few months later! LOL

Searching for sig...

Here's to everyone that contributed to this post! I have enjoyed the hell out of reading the responses. You guys at one point could have made a lot of money by auctioning tickets for a public ass whooping! I'm sure you could have made enough to pay for the classes you need for certification.
