why people think a wrapped hose will strangle you http://www.divernet.com/technique/pics/0904octopus01.jpg For story on http://www.divernet.com/technique/0904octopus.shtml Apparently they are printing a correction this month -- Pete news 'at' melbourne 'dot' me 'dot' uk > why people think a wrapped hose will strangle you > > http://www.divernet.com/technique/pics/0904octopus01.jpg Surely the person in the photo would have noticed... or someone taking the photo... or the editor... or the writer... or someone before they printed that! Clearly never heard of BSAC either: "... normal-style regulator as an alternative air source, rigged conventionally on the right."

Thanks mate, not received mine. I just knew I was missing something this week. OBTW for those who were interested, Mrs Splosh passed her IDC & IE and passes on her thanks to the well wishers. She's also got stuffy (well-earned actually) and landed a job at the Blue Planet - and no it doesn't entitle me to free dives, I'll still have to pay ?75!! As opposed to the ?20 that it costs to Anglesey (dogfish city) & back.

BTW staff & immediate relatives get a 33% discount, so you'll be able to get it for ?50  Signature================================ Chris Quinn (at Blue Planet) > why people think a wrapped hose will strangle you > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > -- > Pete Funnily enuff I've seen people wrap the hose in that fashion, though not that tightly (2 loops with 2m hose). IIRC the fellow in the picture normally (when he isn't taking the p) favours both regs clipped onto a necklace, with either 2 short(er) hoses or a bungeed longhose. = S.C. > > why people think a wrapped hose will strangle you > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > = > S.C. It's amazing how wrong a first impression can be. I thought the idea of it wrappped (OK not *that* tight) was err... well we'll leave that to my old opinionated days. It wasn't until I tried it as the donor I realised how easy it was. You must admit it doesn't look 'right' though does it folks?

What is their excuse for still having the original article on their website? Bullshit Bantin strikes again. First the Bantin rig, then reef hooks, now this.

Oh come of it. He's more fun than most of the diving press added up. There are far too many 'serious' writers out there who let the possible dangers go to their heads and forget we do it all for fun. nigelH > Oh come of it. He's more fun than most of the diving press added up. You must have a strange definition of fun, if you think it's fun to advise people to dive to 50m on a single of air with a cylinder of 36% as backup. The problem is that someone inexperienced and naive may confuse him with someone who knows something about diving.

Oh but he did share his buddy's deco gas on the way up so it must be alright... - Keith |
