I see all dive buddies are the same all over the world. That leg would draw up faster than you could pull you hand back Then again, if it was your leg you thought some big ass damn sea eel just latched on.

Our planning range was 2,250 PSI at 15' was good for 2,000 meters. You should hit your reserve just before you hit the beach. 100 lps per 100 meters. Some of those steel 72s did hit the beach with some big dimples pulled up from the bottom and some guys had to buddy breathe the last 50 metes or so. That was only for in shape guys. I'd probably do 1,000 lps per 100 meters now. Oh well
