sundevil777 102 #6 April 23, 2010 Tell your instructors that you want to go really low before opening, and confirm that if you disconnect the RSL, then you can get an extra long additional freefall when you cutaway.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the same reason I jump off a perfectly good diving board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #16 April 23, 2010 QuoteWear clean underwear. why soil perfectly good underwear? wear dirty underwear - keep a clean pair in your gear bag for later ...

jim_32766 0 #17 April 23, 2010 Make sure to ask your instructors for the Lutz special on that first dive. They'll know what you mean. The meaning of life . . . is to make life have meaning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
