Pool Work
Well, if I haven’t mentioned it here before, then I’ll say it now:
My brother is a good diver.
We did some pool work last monday. In spite of the fact that I’ve probably got thrice the number of open water dives he has, his buoyancy and trim are just amazing. And at one point, we decided to go race underwater - he, with my old Mares Plana fins and my Aquamundo stab jacket, versus me, in jets and a wing. Maybe it was the fins
I also tried using my old BCD. I remembered how bulky and loose it was - compared to a wing. Still, when Anton tried my harness, he didn’t see the appeal either. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Either that, or my crotch strap was too tight for him…

I’ve decided to make the jump and switch to propane for my GBB. Going to try to cut up an old can to make a viable adapter for the camping gas cans, and just drop silicone oil into it to lubricate the internal parts. The current CA green gas I’m using smells remarkably like regular propane.
