Ah, confusion:
1. Why should you not use steel tanks with a wetsuit?
2. What's better HP or LP? If you're using a wetsuit (should I stick with AL until I can afford a dry suit?)
3. Why couldn't the OOA diver inflate his own B.C.? Shouldn't he still be able to inflate even if very low on air? Are we talking 1st stage failure here, or just panic?
I've had near death experiences in the past: dropped with the wind, people turning left in front of me, long run outs past my last pro., shot at, but drowning...no thanks.
I realize it will probably be the bike, or lightning, that gets me first, but your opinions are welcome.
