Lee redefines Archimedes again:

>It is absolutely true and we're talking about compenstaing for 2 lbs 
negative and 2 lbs positive.  That's no more than 2 lbs ever, no matter how

many times you and Bob deny it.

x - 2 = 2.
x = 2?

OK, time to review Open Water 1.

- you weight yourself so you can be neutral at the end of the dive
- that means with a possibly empty tank ... you never know, right
- a standard tank contains 3kg of gas (6 lbs for you medieval types)
- this is the weight that you have to compensate for at the beginning of
the dive
- you claim that you  really only have to compensate for  2 lbs
- which is why you had no chance of ever being taken seriously on
techdiver. Or Scuba-SE

>I can ascend, hover and descend without finning.  Anytime you want proof, 
feel free to stop by.  Be prepared to buy the drinks when you're proven 
wrong.<

Yes, the laws of physics do not apply to you. Have they reserved a spot for
you at the Smithsonian?

>If that's what you call buoyancy control, sure.<

Correct. The issue is that it cannot be done by lung volume. Not mine, not
your's.

>Here's my statement.  "Somebody had to be the first to try.  That wasn't
me 
. . . "

The statement continued. Why do you always snip the intering bits?
