Morning folks! Looks like a cool and dreary day so I'll probably be inside. No big plans, just some trimming and might break out the canner. Drinking coffee and doing a bit of surfing.

peace

OMIGAWD Now ya done it.

That show was so completely... reviled? shamed? unintended comedy? by scuba divers of that era. Yeah, me.

Here's one you can all see: Lookit the picture of the dude climbing up onto the boat. Where's his dive mask?

Why... it is right where the slightest touch will put it overboard, asshole! You either leave your mask on, take it off and hold it in your hand by the strap, or pull it to your chin.

That way, you can dive your second tank.

I remember one show where a scuba diver was tangled in seaweed. No shit. Couldn't get away. Oh, my. Stuff like that.

OK, more trivia from your Ancient Unca: They were always cutting the air hose of divers in fights. Yeah. The air hose on the left, which is the exhaust hose -- put there so your bubbles come out behind you. Nevertheless, every guy with a cut exhaust hose was hors de combat.

SOOPER DOUBLE USELESS TRIVIA YOU WILL REMEMBER TO YOUR DYING DAY:

1. The regulator is on your back attached to the tank (see pic 1 above). That means you have to pull air through a weight of about ten inches of water to get a breath. Difficult, really. Sorta like cupping your hand over your nose and breathing the restricted airflow. Not impossible at all, though.

2. This was before pressure gauges were invented. So how did you know you were running low on air? The 5" disk regulator would suddenly ring like a bell each breath you took.

Damn. I am old.
Unc ,
Every fukn thing on tv is such major deep bullshit.
Cant jump off a heli onto a barge from 20 feet and get up and run and fight
You cant get hit with a bat 6x and get up and beat up the 3 guys who did it
Dinero would shit pizzas if he was getting really shot at.
Why most actors suck. and feel so righteous.
