>Mike, I think that the Ocean is an overhead environment.
That's OK, but you change the reasoning that the rules are
based on. That is a huge change. OE used to mean something
else. I think you had better adjust a few other things to
that change.
>I like the rule of 1/3's for all dives (1/3 out 2/3 to get you home)
Well, it sure would be hard to get bent that way,
but it would sure cut down on my dive
effectiveness.
>If you unclip the SPG from your D ring you can look at your depth gauge, SPG, and
compass.
Hey, that sounds just like my current rig. Doesn't
anybody just use the retainer that is on most BC's...
sorta intended for coral areas or where you don't
want to drag your console. Personally, if I want
it out of the way, I just toss it up and over to
between my legs. It doesn't drag and is really out
of the way, but can still be grabbed in one sweep.
>It's surprising how much, of a difference a little streamlining makes in your diving preformance.
Yah, that's why I still want a better goody bag solution.
Enjoy, seahunt
