My inverted twinset ended up in the 'Stroke's Hall of Fame' on one DIR website.
And that was before I discovered helmet mounted lights.

I considered that the ultimate accolade.

You and me both. I nearly wet myself when some DIR dork still wet behind the ears accosted me in Portland and told me I was a stroke cos of my inverted tanks. Clearly his 6 weeks of DIR experience vastly outweighed more than 20 yrs of UK diving!!

I then challenged him to put on his set and shut his left pillar valve. He kept going for the middle one. Once he managed to find it all he did was open it!! I showed him how fast I could do it on the inverted set and rather shut him up.

I want a T-shirt... Im a Stroke ...and Proud of it!!
