"You'd be surprised how many time I've run OOA"
My God, Mike, you of all people!!? Not once in over 37 years, 3,000 plus dives in every major body of water in the world have I ever, even once, come close to running out of air, with or without a buddy.
And while I'm butting in, all these posts about gear and gas and buddies, hardly any mention about the diving environment itself, i.e., game, photography, wrecks, etc. For most of us, the gear and the gas is simply a means to access and share the joy and thrill of the undersea world, with or without a buddy. Is DIR for gearheads only? Or am I over-reacting?
BTW, just located a pair of XL Jetfins so I'm retiring my Force Fins, you'll be pleased to note!
