Having read through the harrowing account I realized I missed one dive.. During this particular dive... Your intrepid author decided the best approach to enjoying a wreck off of the coast of Miami... was to get entangled in Fishing line. This dive I had actually behaved myself a bit better with bouyancy and piloting the unit. I had even managed to fly both the Hammerhead algorithm and VR3 protocol to completion. True, I burned up the Diluent and Oxygen. True, I had to get CUT out of the line that I couldn't see. And also True there is no need to do areal acrobatics to flush the loop, but this dive I was actually partway pleased with. So for you newbies on the O2ptima. You merely squeeze the lungs in a crossed armed hugging motion rather than sitting up, looking up and hammering down on the straps, lungs, hoses, and t valves like it was a bad habit.
Best wishes all catch you in the water around Lebanon if you come, when you come.
