I FELT THE !!POWER!!

Post by mattwave »

If you ever have an opportunity to feel the Power of the "CUDA", you must not pass it up. Once again Ben has engineered a truly amazing Dive Tool. This is not for the faint of heart, this is the "Screaming Eagle" of diver propulsion. And I must say the extra weight was a minor adjustment. Oh did i mention the POWER, crap, son of lightning bolt, POWER. Whew, still shaking, POWER. Monkey diving the oil dock on the CUDA :supz: :supz:

Welcome to the world of CUDA!!! ;) Congrats on your ride!!!! Glad you had a great time!

To answer the other question,

The CUDA starting speed is faster than the Sierra's top speed. You have to shift down so that all but the most streamlined sierra riders can keep up.

You have to dial down all your regulators to limit freeflow. You have to tighten your mask strap...

"8" should come with a warning sticker. "beyond the legal limits of FUN!"

"feels like grabbing on to a bullet train" the difference between the speeds in 5,6,7 is pretty standard, but when the electronics pull out all the stops and you click 8... HOLY SMOKES!!!!! hold on to your ass!!!!

Send a PM and we can try to get y'all out on a demo dive (if you can't bum a ride off a friend ;)

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.
