Yannick, high prophet of DIS Ya-Ya-Wakbar,
prepares on Saturday morning for his first trimix dive using helium. Previous
mixes involved only nitrogen, oxygen, Fred's cigarette smoke and alcohol
vapours. Despite this he has still managed to do cave dives to three figure
depths. |
| "I've never seen anyone do that to
a horse before. Are you sure this is the DIR website?" |
 |
 |
The surface supplied oxygen hose
is prepared by Jerome and Fred. Jerome tests for leaks by examining the
regulators, Fred checks for leaks by examining the rate of combustion of
his cigarette. |
| Jerome waits to see the expression
on Yannick's face when he discovers that the compressor intake was pointed
downwind of Henri's Manure Merchants while he was filling the bottles. |
 |
 |
Despite the temperature being over
thirty degrees, Jerome proves the heat is having no affect on him. |
| Mon Dieu! Obviously startled, Jerome
turns to find a large English tourist asking for directions to Paris. |
 |
 |
President Fred Pinna shows that DIS
does not discriminate. Here he prepares to dive with a famous cave diving
dwarf. |
| Now would not be a good time to explain
the fine points of DIR. |
 |
 |
The prophet Ya-Ya about to go. |
| Andrew Ericson prepares to be assessed
for DIS membership. However he has made the obvious mistake of not having
a cigarette prepared and frantically reaches for his baccy tin just as
the judges arrive. |

supplied oxygen system in use. |
| Spot, the DIS dog, demonstrates his
training in recovering stage bottles. Currently, Spot is training on a
rebreather. |
 |
 |
Having developed a nasty leak, Jerome
desperately uses all his veterinary training to plug it until the team
doctor can be sobered up. |
