Time: An Armchair Diver's Guide to Technical DivingPaul ToomerTime is such a horrible little thing isn't it? I mean, I was young once! Have you thought about how slow time goes when you're bored or when things are not so good? But, boy, you better believe, the minute you start having fun and enjoying yourself, well, time races by. What the hell is that all about?Anyway, let's apply my analogy to diving. After all, this is a dive magazine no? In diving, TIME is your number one asset. Time lets you stay on the dive, it lets you help someone in trouble, it allows for minor delays. For once, time is a 'good' thing. But time relies on one primary resource when diving, and that's breathable gas! No one ever died from too much gas is one statement that most successful divers adhere to. So this month I will be discussing how NOT to run out of gas, or at least minimise your chances. Remember this one thing: a technical dive does not begin until the decompression starts.
