Yes but Vonny can hover perfectly while in a sitting position pointing at her .... and demonstrating pulling a chain without rising or dropping even 0.1m! Bl00dy impressive I tell thee

It's very important to maintain team communication and let your team mate know when you are having a tinkle.

Oh the 'drips off the screw going into cell 2' problem?

That only happens when you take it off and let it cool down.

More strokery:
If you need something take two - a different brand of dive computer on each wrist.
Shutdown drill - turning the DIL off when the AutoAir freeflows.
Force Fins - your flexible friends.
Steel Stages - to stay below you and not bob about like some demented puppy.
Variable kit configuration - stops people messing with my gear in the water.
Helmet torches - don't try to attract my attention - I'm buzy.

I'm on a roll here...

Now personally i don't think any of TFT have the required dedication, ability, skill level or attitude to be a proper Stroke.

Well maybe Gareth as I've seen photo's of him Stroke diving on an Exped

I was thinking more of the counterlung issues. Anyway, this is too serious for this thread!

I was stunned. They were INCREDIBLY effective at stopping me form back kicking. Also, it was INCREDIBLY simple to kick up all the silt. I couldn't believe it, it was like a light bulb going off, all this time I've wasted being concerned about kicking up the bottom, and these things make it bloody simple!

That's because you were Doing It Wrong I can show you how to dive them without kicking the silt up, do helicopter turns and back kick......you only have to ask

Remember fins don't kill the vis, people kill the vis

Safe diving,
Steve

P.S. dog knob red fins are just plain wrong.....for true strokery you need yellow ones

[fatlaz]

Good point about fins not killing vis.

On the colour point, I knew my (very faded) yellow seac sub lettuce leaves were still with me for a reason

Hold on a mo.

I dive indies, no long hose, have two breaks in my non backplate wing.
Dont have a necklace and my inflate goes on the left post.

Yep I really am a stroke

[ratcliffe]

Frankly, if you were a better f*cking diver, you too could be a stroke

No mate that makes you a w@nker ............................................. only joking I dived indie 10's for years with a Seac sub pro 2000 and no long hose

Safe diving,
Steve

I have had a PM from Gloc. He wants to know why you get the best days out while he has to go to work, and you are to pass on all your knew skills to the rest of the team. If you want, i can lend the team my dog nob red force fins.


(can you get turtles in red?)
