Plus, its now another bit of kit you have to rely on. what are you going to do when it inevitably rots away or breaks off. Think, man, think.

Comedy defies logic. You can't reason with it.

make it from delrin, then it won't rot. that'll add another £100 onto the price. and tie it on with cave line and it won't fall off at the critical moment

well, quite. Obviously this isn't an issue for DIR divers, but I was trying to think through the ramifications for everyone.

So that'll be a DIR Delrin cuckoo with all the entanglement hazards filed off it and streamlined so that it moves effortlessless through the water. That's a dildo isn't it?

[milldog]

I think i might have got this wrong is the cuckoo supposed to be on the inside???

well, we already have GLOC and MAL. One more dildo in the water won't make any difference I guess.

I think you're being a bit harsh on the cuckoo idea, Garf.

I think it ought to be a real cuckoo, and it could be used like a canary in a mine. If the cuckoo has joint pains after the dive, then perhaps you ought to call in the helicopter, even if you feel fine, just to be on the safe side.

WHy not train a cuckoo wrasse?
But then that limits you to salt water dives unless have a way of keeping it in a salt water environment for dives in Stoney etc.

I'm pretty sure a cuckoo couldn't breathe off a standard second stage, so we'd have to work that into our S drills for gas donations. Potentially this would mean another regulator just for the bird, which is adding another failure point. We don't have any empirical evidence about the suitability of ratio deco for cuckoos, so it might set a dangerous precedent to just say "it could have a cuckoo" as you might end up inadvertently injuring the cuckoo.

I just can't see that working. You should be more responsible with the things you type.

GARF i take it you you used to work on the stage, or have escaped from somewhere
