Yeah, I noticed... I also noticed he never jumped in with any useful "serious" on topic info. Probably because we covered the bases as far as your serious questions were concerned.

Hey, I'll take my share of the blame on that too! We could move the flirting to other threads though.

A person should be judged in this life not by the mistakes that they make nor by the number of them. Rather they are to be judged by their recovery from them.

and then it's only legal in arkansas and maybe TN! i guess that's something, too! once the topic is adequately explained, like the diving with hoods to stay warm that dandydon started, then it's kind of fun to let the topic wander...then someone new to the board with different info can just to a quote/reply and things are tight again.

Best way is to go to Cozumel, have the DM guess youe weight, then get wet and check the weighting at your safety stop.

I can say that because you have already gotten lots of help. Early on I did the pool check with a tank with around 500 psi of air.

Hey CP! Where've you been???
Back to topic- the 500 psi test sounds like an excellent indicator!

Darth Vader on Heliox would sound like Pee Wee Herman with allergies. :blink:

Honey, you're more than welcome to join the club. I like your new signature too, by the way. Seems like we're both playing around with Jacques' name ( hint, Coo's Toe )

Shame on you! It's only the latest batch of lame jar-jar binks filled fodder that should be banished to a galaxy far far away.
