    Yup! Kinda mimics real life around the dive site/shop, eh?

    Soooo, I can see it now, first you get a intro cave card, then apprentice, then full cave, then sidemount, then DPV, Normoxic trimix, full trimix, then advanced Lucky Strike. Seems OK to me.

    Try a Poseidon metal 2nd stage. They can tolerate the smoke from hooka a lot better than the plastic ones.

    I bet Mike can hooka you up with an adapter.

    I do recall reading that smoking enhances SAC rate. reduces O2 to the brain and increases CO2, but enhances SAC! I know that my wife's SAC rate is half that of mine and she smokes while I don't. She doesn't cave dive, but in open water rec diving she used to take an al40 cause that way we'd both get back on the boat with similar psi left! Then I got wise and strapped the al80 on her with a long hose on her octo! heh-heh now our bottom times are long enough to make the captain mad!

    That corset should help your SAC! As a full-fledged Suthin' Belle in a former life (hoop skirts and all), I can attest to not being able to breathe in those *** **** things!
