I can not imagine the "bent" post is for real. There's too many things
wrong. Jammer may not be perfect, but losing track of a buddy AND making a
rapid enough ascent to get bent is a bit much to accept, even if he's only a
cyber diver, which I don't think is the case. I hope it's not for real.
Being bent is no fun at all.

Losing the buddy would require the fast ascent if he was OOA, which I
find hard to believe, or if his reg failed, which I find almost as
hard to believe... escpecially if he's diving a proper doubles config
or a single with an H-valve.
Unless he normally relies in his buddy to supply him with air for the
ascent and safety stop.

How kind of you to misquote him to try to make me look like I can't read..
He really said 'a proper doubles config ' *OR* ' a single with an H-valve.'
And at that point I asked what is the point of diving doubles on a max depth

Jammer is DIR.
Shallow is all the more reason for doubles... I'll spend in excess of
2 hours bottom time using my HP120 hunting for lobster.
If I doubled them up, I'd be shallow enough for 5 hours....

Right up to the point where he lost contact with his buddy.
At that point, had he died, DIR would still be able to claim zero

I'm sorry Greg, as much as I've disagreed with Jammer in the past, I'm just
not going to kick him when he's down.
Chris
1. I didn't misquote him. As your quoting below shows, I quoted
him accurately. I didn't quote more than was relevant but what I
quoted was accurate. This is the third thing to escape you.
2. Nothing in the actual post, even with the excess context,
mentions or otherwise alludes to what you repeated - "doubles
with an H valve." We'll go over this slowly for you. He said "a
proper doubles config OR a single with an H-valve." That
describes a choice of TWO (2, count 'em) configurations, one OR
the other. he didn't say "doubles or a single with an H-valve",
he said "a proper doubles CONFIG or a single with an H-valve."
He described a choice of TWO SEPARATE configurations, one of
which includes doubles, and the other of which includes an
H-valve. In no way does this suggest what you said "doubles with
an H-valve." In fact, it isn't rocket science to figure out that
one doesn't use an H-valve with doubles, given that it fits on
one tank, and that it's unnecessary with a "PROPER doubles
config" which would have a manifold capable of the functionality
offered by the H-valve. This is the second thing that escaped
you.
3. Your original response was "If its that shallow, why would you
need doubles?" Clearly, the comment you were responding to
"escpecially if he's diving a proper doubles config or a single
with an H-valve," without any need to consider the implications
of point #2 above, allowed for the use of a single tank, and
thus, neither implied he was using doubles, or suggested the need
for doubles which you questioned. This is the first thing that
escaped you.
> Jammer may very well have DCS, and for this matter I'm not going to
> criticize him or DIR in this thread. I wish him the best of luck.
4. No one suggested criticism of Jammer or DIR. I pointed out
that Jammer's militant adherence to DIR and the DIR doctrine on
alternate air sources more than adequately explain why Jammer
does see the point of redundant regulators and is likely to be
using them, even at 40'. Clearly, no editorializing about Jammer
or DIR was offered, implied, or solicited in that statement, and
this fact is the fourth thing that escaped you.
Care to try for five, or are you mature enough to realize that
you made a minor faux pas by not reading carefully before
replying the first time, and that further attempts to defend the
indefensible, rather than simply face the fact that you made a
mistake (as all humans do from time to time) only serve to
compound the error? The more angry you get, the less sense
you're going to make.
Fuck off you dumb shit. Here is what I said: I really don't see where I
said doubles with an H.
I dont know the dive site in question but someone made it sound very
shallow. If its that shallow, why would you need doubles?
Chirs
I've never assumed that he got bent. His email presented with symptoms of
DCS ( pain and rash ) but only a Doctor can make the determination that he
is really bent. Also my reference to 40' is from a website about the sight
that says the max. depth is around 40' fsw.
You never corrected me on the other point, you just misquoted me and who I
was replying to. I was merely wondering why someone would need doubles on a
shallow site, and I wasn't trying to connect that to any theory on why
Jammer would have had to make an bouyant ascent. ( Buddy seperation, OTA,
equipment failure, ectera. ) You really are reading into my posts way to
deeply.
Someone else posted that doubles would do them well for lobster hunting in
shallow waters. Thats a valid reason which I accept.
Chris

Can I have your kick then?
There you go again - I never said you did. I merely referred to
your RESEARCH, not assumptions or assertions, as the basis for
the depth, nothing else.
> His email presented with symptoms of

You mentioned that your source was the web, before, but I have
confidence in your ability to judge your source.

> was replying to.
You apparently haven't yet read my correction of that assertion.
> I was merely wondering why someone would need doubles on a
> shallow site,
Something there was no reason to wonder, since Rich never
asserted that he was using doubles.
Apparently, it still escapes you that what was referring to was
that Jammer's adherance to DIR doctrine would dictate that he use
EITHER [a proper doubles config](complete configuration option 1)
OR [a single with an H-valve](totally separate configuration
option 2) on ANY dive, no matter how shallow. It was an allusion
that was completely independent of the dive site, because it was
based on doctrines Jammer holds to that have nothing to do with
the max depth of the dive site.
> and I wasn't trying to connect that to any theory on why
> Jammer would have had to make an bouyant ascent.
I never said you were. I pointed out that nothing in the post
you were responding to required an assumption that he was using
doubles, and thus gave reason to wonder why he was using
doubles. This is escape item #5.
It's like Rich saying Jammer is EITHER a man or a woman, and you
wondering how a woman could post what Jammer does, completely
ignoring that Rich's statement would be completely valid with
Jammer being a man.
Get it?
> You really are reading into my posts way to
> deeply.
Not at all, as I pointed out. You did not read Rich's post
carefully enough, and asked a non-sequitur question in response,
and because I pointed this out in a manner that wasn't dripping
in honey, you got your knickers in a knot and proceeded to try
and argue a false point, and just kept digging deeper.
> Someone else posted that doubles would do them well for lobster hunting in

Except that it's completely irrelevant to the original post
you're responding to, as well as doing nothing to answer why
*Jammer* would be using a single with an H-valve OR doubles
(WITHOUT an H-valve) on the dive in question.

I don't pretend to know the proper DIR config because I'm not a DIR diver.
When I asked my question why you would need doubles on a shallow site, I
meant in general why would you need doubles on a shallow site. I wasn't
asking why Jammer would need doubles, therefore it didn't even enter my mind
what kind of gear select Jammer would be making.

I did read his message, but my question was exactly just that... why would
*someone* need doubles on a shallow site. Not why would Jammer.

So sue me for being off topic. Like that never happens in newsgroups or
rec.scuba. For that matter this whole fucking thread is off topic since it
was started as an April Fools joke with Jammer saying we were all going on
the Nautilus Explorer at his dime.

Hmm... doubles with H-valves on both tanks. That's enough redundancy
to make Irvine cry. Four 1sts, four 2nds, two wing and two drysuit

You did... but I attributed it to your admitted lack of experience

No biggie.

More bottom time. If it's that shallow, I'd question someone taking a
deco bottle, but remember, the shallower the dive the more time you
have before reaching NDL. 60 feet or so is where most people can
spend enough time on the bottom to reach NDL on one tank, so if you
are diving shallower than that, why not take more gas with you and
stay down longer?
We're going out there to dive, not to sit on the boat.

LOL, that was the same thing that the bouncer accused me of. However, I had
never seen the fellow before. It was very obvious from the get go that the
boucer was exceeding what was necessary to remove the guy. (I mean, he
threw him down a flight of stairs, fercryinoutloud!) And to keep assaulting
him after the guy was *out* of the building! That's when I really lost it.
My friends just stood there and watched. They didn't even try to stop me.

Yesssss, it was. And in the grand scheme of things do you think the guy who
got his collar pulled or the guy that got dragged down the stairs by his heels
will remember the incident longer?
I was a bouncer for over five years and never once got into a fight. Never.
However. Once when divebud Kevin, who's my general size but trimmer, was
working up at the SkiLodge Bar and I was visiting. A customer, who wasn't
drunk, said something really rude to the waitress and the manager told Kevin to
escort him out. I went along for the ride. Kevin tried every trick in the book
to get the guy to leave quietly, and the guy (who wasn't particularly small)
stood up and punched Kevin in the face without warning. Most of the blow
missed, and Kevin and I attacked the guy like pit bulls. Kevin went for his
throat, I kicked his feet out from under him, and we dragged him out like a
grain sack. He was wearing overalls, for easy handling, silly boy.
We dragged him down two flights of stairs at a running pace, and outside we
stuck his head in a snowbank just like a roadrunner/wiley coyote cartoon. It
was maybe 7 years ago.
And I'm sure he remembers it clearly.
No one was hanging on my neck, however.
Sounds great on paper.. but I don't own my own boat. All the boats that I've
been on, if I donned some doubles and went for a 2 hour dive, they'd start
probably thinking about leaving my ass behind.

If Jammer dives as much as he says he does, your 2 day surface interval is
probably too generous.

See, Rich gets it.
Its always in me... just was waiting for him to come back to his usual
asshole self. If he really had DCS though I would be leaving him alone...

Interesting. I've never checked out the shallow stuff.

That doesn't have anything to do with doubles or the dive.

Because I've never said anything about it.

I was only teasing ya. I was feeling wayyyy frisky last nite when I
posted that to you.... having just gotten back from seeing a concert.
LOL You sure find interesting things to get involved in when you go
out. You and Limey Dave out on the town together might be very
dangerous !!
Oh yeah, aren't you bored with Debby does.....yet?
Dave.
Actually, the guy grabbed my tie and tried to pull me into the punch, but it
was a clip on and it came off in his hand, and the look on his face was
priceless, then Fred and I rode him down the stairs like a toboggan.
The guy ended up being my next door neighbor for 2 years, he remembers the
night well, he said he was sorry for the disturbance and we drank some corn
liquor.
Kevin
Wasn't that place in a basement?
Well, at least he could throw a decent punch if need be. All I can do is
raise a ruckus, hang off a guy's collar and talk tough. ;^) Amazing what
you can get away with when you are my age.
Reall?? Then what is this?

About 240-250 dives in either Puget Sound or British Columbia.
Of the dives in British Columbia, the overwhelming majority were off of
Bryce Christie's Topline, with 2nd place going to the Rendezvous.
All but the first 22 dives were in an OS shell drysuit.
Two dives in the Oslo Fjord.
Six dives in Hawaii.
Twenty dives on Little Cayman.
The rest were in California, off the Vision.

The next dive will be in about an hour, another solo at Edmonds to
finish shaking down my equipment (yet again) for my trip.
I leave tomorrow morning for the Vision, and The Great Escape, courtesy

Sounds like it. Was it unambiguous?

Gotta watch out for those snowbanks, piles of leaves and stuff like
that. Might be something hard underneath causing you to inflict a
greater injury than what you intended.

It doesn't say a word about how much I dive, studmuffin.
Seriously, is English your first language?
