My son and I went out yesterday afternoon to do some Boyles Law experiments for his 8th grade science project. We were heading for a large sandy area off a very popular dive site known as Electric Beach on the West Side of Oahu. We were heading further out than normal at this site to get the needed 33'. We were the only ones in the water and stopped to talk to the lifeguards on our way out just to be friendly. They noticed the flag I was carrying and thanked us for taking it stating that a lot of divers don't use them out there and it is dangerous not to. For this project he was inflating balloons @ 2ATM and recording the increase in volume as we surfaced. We were using the flag float as a reference line and were surfacing multiple times within feet of the float. At one point while we were inflating and recording on the bottom (fortunately) the Lifeguard Jet Ski went roaring directly over the top of us, easily within 15' of my flag. Fortunately they had left for the day by the time we got back to the beach.
Truly amazing to me how some people operate, I would love to know what those idiots were thinking.
