Bushwacker was telling me how little his friend Bob used diving and I think I may have learned why. If you take 4 seconds to breathe in , you would take 16 seconds to breathe out. Or 4-1.

This also allows you to discharge more CO2.

Rule #1 is never stop breathing.

Well Bushwacker was right again. Just enough to be dangerous.

My thinking about diving in the Keys was how much trouble can we get in under 30 ft?

Turns out quite a bit. Bubbles expand far more under less pressure. If you were to hold your breath and ascend from 30 ft you could easily get an embolism. Not good.

Lesson: Never stop breathing. If things go south, exhale on the way up. From any depth.

Cheers,
GFS

I know I am repeating some points, but that is fine.

Forget the underwater chit. Get one of these suits and you can just float along & hide in the Sargassum Weed (No, not the Smoking type) and stuff the pockets with pilchard heads and you can score a Blackfin or Mahi for dinner

BTW: I'll touch base with you tommorrow about the axels.

Don't shoot a square grouper netting does less damage to the "meat"

Two tanks at 50 today. 100 ft. of vis. Love this. I lagged behind searching every shelf and head. Nothin`! Barren of bugzzz. We dove the second and third windows of the Breakers.

I was amazed at the acreage of our dive. Not like the keys at all. We had no current, which is rare here. The reefs here are world class. Shhh.

We get one more two tank dive as a gift. Where do you do business?

Thanks Noreen!
