but isn't that akin to equiping ourselves with lightening rods in the event we get struck by lightening
Frank,
You must be trolling again.. Are you suggesting that we ( DIR or not ) should not prepare ourselves for an OOA emergency?? Particularly in OE and wrecks where any number of things could happen.. For example a rigged edge cutting a hose, lost line, entanglement, disorientation, etc..
This is fundemental OE training.. In your independent system of diving, which you do NOT receomend we do, how do you propose to exit an OE in the event of an OOA scenario and you happen upon another independent diver???
Trust me on this, I PROMISE not to copy your method but I just want to try to understand it....
Later
