Scuba Forum / General / March 2004The Best Underwater Adventure Writer
Have you all heard of Clive Cussler? He is my favorite author. He has written 20+ best-selling novels and has millions of fans worldwide. You know what he does with his book royalties? He searches for lost shipwrecks, airplanes etc... If you are familiar with Dr. Cussler or would like to find out more about the author, his books, or his real life adventures, take a moment to check out The Clive Cussler Forum. The CCF is the fastest growing, soon to be the largest, Cussler community on the net. The address is http://s4.invisionfree.com/CLIVE_CUSSLER Please take a moment to check this out...trust me, you will not be sorry. I look forward to seeing you there. Cheers Mike Davis > Have you all heard of Clive Cussler? He is my favorite author. He's your favorite author? I'm so sorry. Fair enough that is your opinion.

Baby, have you come to the right place. There are probably 25 guys planning a coed rec.scuba dive trip proposal as we speak. Popeye would be leading the herd, but I hear he's keeping busy. Somehow he seems to have lost that drive to meet new rec scubans of late.

Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here Hey no prob....Im used to dealing with a bunch of dumb f.ckers...I work as a police officer here in Maine. Hmm let me see. I was certified back in 79, I went to the Ocean Corporation commercial diving school back in 82 and worked in the gulf for 5 years. Over the years I have been licensed in advanced open diver, rescue diver, cavern diver, deep diver, ice diver, night diver and master diver. About 5 years back I was licensed as a master instructor. I have my paramedic license but back in the late 80's I decided to become a police officer and I also work on a state search and rescue dive team. I apologize for searching out a place where fellow divers gather to let them know about a site that I found interesting. By all means it wont happen again. Like I said earlier, I am used to dealing with ignorant f.cks like Jammer Six and the other piece of sh.t that originally answered me.

Just wondering what the experts here would consider a DIR weapon. Shotgun maybe? Keep it to long guns. We can do the shorties later. Brian Edmonton, Alberta > So what would be considered a DIR gun?

Keep it to long guns. We can do the shorties later. It's questionable if *any* firearm would be a acceptable DIR weapon... Too many moving parts, I suspect... A highly suspect that a fully auto one would not be DIR... Perhaps an exposed hammer single shot shotgun *might* be of acceptable lack of complexity... I still suspect that only rocks would be a DIR-approved weapon... >>He's too busy. He's making plans to visit you in person...with an >>AK-47. Is that DIR?

The problem I had with the C1 and C2 was their weight made them a bit unweildy, but I suspect I thought that because we got introduced to them AFTER having used the C7... but their action was definately superior and they didn't jam too much either... and the plastic grip of the C7 was just a bit too 'toy like'.

Most of the people that carried C2s were the big dumb types. I must've made up for not being big by being extraordinarily dumb because I usually found myself carrying either a C2 or the radio. Brian Edmonton, Alberta >>You never used a C7? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > must've made up for not being big by being extraordinarily dumb because > I usually found myself carrying either a C2 or the radio. Ghhhhaaaa. I never got to do anything fun at CAC... whilst the others were having loads of fun in a 'live' firefight', I got to man the radio from Midnight to Six am because some Lt. decided all of a sudden that there were two many med-aids, so we got hauled out to different duties. It was cool thought... quiet most of the time and I got some radio experience, but in some ways it would have been cooler trampling through the bush for a few weeks with my soldiers... some of whom had been stupid enough in the past to injure themselves in curious and hillarious ways. L. >... some of whom had been > stupid enough in the past to injure themselves in curious and hillarious > ways. A fellow ran smack dab into a tree at a full run, broke teeth, cut face, knock out, the whole nine yards. He went to ground from sniper fire (simulated) he is just laying there, relaxing, enjoying the Sun, looks over his shoulder and sees a beaver. Now, for those who have never been up close and personal with a beaver, they can be huge, especially when they are a few feet away, you are a city fellow who knows a beaver only from the nickel, and it was only that morning that you were cautioned to avoid wild life. Well, you know insult to injury was generously applied by his buddies. Thats what buddies are for. David Edmonton, Alberta >>... some of whom had been >>stupid enough in the past to injure themselves in curious and hillarious [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Thats what buddies are for. Heh. That reminds me of my own personal favourite... A PFC falls into a swamp area up to his waist at Meaford during routine exercises in Feb. I tell him to get back to the barracks and get dried off. He ignores this and continues on... an hour and a half later he comes up to me and says he has to go to the clinic. I ask him what for and he won't tell me... says he's embaressed. So instead of arguing, I send Mr. Brilliant to the clinic. I find out later what happened, not from him or the Doc, but on the bus ride home: because Mr. Brilliant wouldn't tell the med-aid (who is bound to keep all medical issues confidential) what was wrong, but he did tell a few of his buddies: who made up a song about it to entertain us all on the ride home. Naturally he was so cold that Mr. Brilliant's willie decided to hibernate, which freeked him out. He was treated with a hot water bottle :-) L. > David > Edmonton, Alberta > The C2 was a bitch to carry around but at least it had auto mode. That > was fun.

Well, I am back from being away. The C2 guy was the first on the wire, barbed or catalina. The C2 guy had a chest pack that held (IIRC, 5 mags. of 30 rounds each) which protected him as he threw himself on the wire roll. The rest of the squad would run over the the roll by placing a foot on the back of the C2 guy and jumping clear. The last guy in the squad would say something like, cut, hup, or up and the C2 guy would bend one leg at the knee and the last guy over would hook his rifle sling on the prone mans foot and pull him over and free of the roll. We used to listen to the Matinee movie played on T.V. with our C10 radios. David Edmonton, Alberta > > He's too busy. He's making plans to visit you in person...with an > > AK-47. Is that DIR?

Depends upon the mission parameters. FN-FAL is a damn fine rifle, but the area we are talking about is rather closed in, with lots of neighbors. In this scenario, for some limp-wristed chessedick threating to visit with an AK47, an MK870 12 gage loaded with Federal 3" 4 dram equivalent 000 buckshot would be fine. Besides, I have a good idea the alleged AK47 perp would be well venitlated with 210 grain ball faster than he could snap the safety of the AK. > > > He's too busy.

I'm partial to FN-FALs (Canadian > C1 and C2 versions) Is the C2 the FALO heavy barrel (foregrips fold down as bipod)? Similar idea to the M1918A2 BAR: Fixed heavy barrel squad automatic. I'm rather partial to those (BARs). Owned a couple back in the early nineties. Probably as un-DIR as they come. > but that's because I carried those. I found them > simple and reliable, kinda like DIR. But I never had an AK although I > would love to try one one day. Fun to play with. Simple and reliable, but don't expect much better than 4-5 MOA accuracy. Long stroke (haha) gas action and short sight radius make it inherently inaccurate. >Never fired an M16 of any flavour. Also kinda fun, but I hate a gun that sh.ts where it eats. > Just > wondering what the experts here would consider a DIR weapon. Shotgun > maybe? Keep it to long guns. We can do the shorties later. Hmmm. H&K G3. No gas system. Simple and reliable. No optics (unless you want them). A shorty may be more fitting, especially an open bolt SMG (take your pick). Super reliable and simple. Can be stripped and reassembled quickly. Few moving parts. > Hmmm. H&K G3. No gas system. Simple and reliable. No optics (unless > you want them).

I'm sure that he's quite relieved to know that you find his apperarance unappealing. The TOTDB does not need to worry. (Of course, she wouldn't, anyway). Incorrect. It clearly shows he's DIR. From http://www.dirquest.com/about_dir.shtml "The DIR system focuses on the concept of minimalism. Equipment that does not enrich the dive is considered a liability and should be left at home." The photo clearly shows him working a working on a roof. Since this is the case, the dive gear has been left at home. Only a stroke (or dropped fire diver) would have scuba gear on a roof.
