ICD, also relates to the drysuit inflation issue and FTR I'm not completely sold on it respecting drysuits, but in all honesty when I do long dives [ 2 hours or better] I use argon...
My focus is on the the breathing mix, [ie; deep air] and that is where we are hearing the PADI idiocy about ICD...
As far as the distortion comment goes, that came from a private e-mail from Steve Morrell at PADI.. I don't want to share private correspondence but that is PADI's position which is why you saw me publicly invite them.. In other words, I'm willing to stand before the entire crowd, discuss my position and I'm also willing to share the stage and allow PADI to speak for themselves and eliminate my alleged *distortions*... What I don't understand about the alleged distorions is that I'm saying you can't dive air to 165' safely, they are selling you the class to 165' so what is the problem????
I'll try to be a little more clearer in my positions going forward ;-)
