Did I ever tell you about smoking pot underwater?

[Papa Bear]

NO! And if it involves Smoky McBong Water I don't want to know! LMAO!!!!

Can't you just smoke before and and after? If not your pot is not good enough! It really should last the entire dive. Unless that is you are like Bamma and stay submerged for hours doing decompression.

Where did Lottie go? I am still waiting on her to get back to me with the info about her Advanced Class.

Unless she is avoiding the question!

I can't see what relevance that has to this thread?

[Papa Bear]

I think she is out in the pool with a tank & reg laying on the bottom

It's about skill!

Again it is about skill,AND what should be taught, what is or should be basic SCUBA common knowledge, what the difference between basic scuba /advanced / and DM as far as education and what is expected of each of these divers.

Considering you started the thread and I know you are recently AOW certified you can be the baseline. I am only doing this to see and compair the vast differences in SCUBA education around the world between not only different agencies, but also within the same agency.

This is in no way to discredit anyone's education or anyone's knowledge or anything else.

A common thing I see all of the time is divers neglecting to wet the cam bands BEFORE connecting to the cylinder. What happens is they seem tight enough before the dive, but as soon as they get wet of course they strech out.....and the cylinder is falling out.

Make sure you completely remove the strap from the cam before you install they cylinder, this will force you to reinstall the strap and the cam. Before you know it, you will be able to do it with your eyes closed.

This is basic OW stuff though.

I've never removed my straps on my BC from the cams and it was never taught in any of my classes.

Don't feel bad I don't unless there is real good reason to! I don't take the oil out of my motor at night when I park my car either, just funny that why, but I think I can still change it! With my eyes closed

[acelockco]

Of course you can, because you have done it so many times in the past. I am sure you don't do it yourself any longer, but you remember.

Same thing with the cam bands. I can do them with my eyes closed, no problem, but it was not always that way. After doing it so many times it just became second nature.
