Like I said elsewhere, it sure would be hard to
get bent that way, but it would also sure cut down on
my dive effectiveness. Considering that maximal BT
is one of my main dive goals, (usually translates to
hunting, photo or exploring success and is the reason
I drag along a big tank) I sure wouldn't call that
an efficient diving method. Why make a dive so short?
If it's for safety in OW, that seems like
overkill... Fudge it a bit??? That's most of the
cake.
So is Thirds now DIR in general and not just
wreck/cave?
Enjoy, seahunt
