We also bag in three man teams.....

In black with handbags, I can see it now;

4 man team? - I reckon it's a 3 man team in training, with AndyK at the front deciding who is next to have a multiple seam failure

Aren't they travel gas stages?

Not necessarily. The leanest standard DIR mix in use is 10/70, which is more than breathable below 10m. IIRC the 50% would be used to a certain depth, then switch to deep gas. Why bother to take a travel gas AND a deco gas, when one can serve both purposes, remember, take only what you need and if something can do 2 jobs then even better (eg. drysuit for backup bouyancy instead of a double bladder wing)

Again, I am saying this as if I am an authority on the subject, I'm NOT, I just pick up a lot of stuff both on this board and others, as well as speaking to those in the know. I'm not (yet?) DIR, and have not yet taken a GUE course but belive what I say to be true, if its wrong then someone please correct me

My EDO is closer no electronics, purely mechanical and not a hint of YELLOW

Yes, my mistake. I checked the tech 1 manual and there are two helium based deco gasses listed.

So you should

On a serious note if you download the Avery wizard for Word from Averys site, you can do all sorts of marvelous things very easily onto thier labels.

Just a thought.

Think this scrap was partially my fault - I was looking at the thread to see what font And had recommended as the stick-on letters I got from UE didn't survive the Vobster filling station!

So if one can't find anything useful on this site and has to resort to looking at what others are viewing.... is it really fair to call us "sad".

What do you mean "start"?

They ARE out to get you Daz - resistance is futile - but funny while it lasts

You didnt post , so it will not have moved up onto the homepage/forums list the next post from the end of august last year was the one calling people sad for disussing labels for cylinders which we all know are a good idea as you need to know what the contents are.

[Clare Gledhill]

Yes I know I didn't post - I had to dig through the archives to find it as I wanted to refer to eth font size. The only way it would have come to Nutty's attention is if he was looking to see what people were viewing.

Doesn't matter - I KNOW I'm sad!

How about labels on drysuits which tell you what the contents are ...

Suggestions on a postcard please
