    Default Tank Removal

    Where did the idea that in Cave training, you have to take off your tanks and Cram them in a little hole and then swim through it come from? Everyone who asks me about cave diving seems to think were constantly taking off our tanks to get through small holes.

    Anbody seen a line arrow around here ?

    Now look Andre... The hole only got smaller when I removed that "final" rock... till then one could go through without removing BOTH tanks... Now of course, it takes removal of both tanks and exhaling all the air in the lungs to get through that hole...

    I occasionally remove my LP Steel 85 Doubles prior to bedtime. My girlfriend insists that they are too cold for snuggling and make my side of the bed lopsided
