Ridiculous James Bond Question

[ItMustBeJames]

So there's this small side-bar in the funny diving quotes thread about diving immediately after flying to lower your nitrogen saturation and extend your NDL ...

Yes, it's a big joke and no it doesn't work.

But it got me wondering. Is there anywhere you can go to learn how to skydive / HALO jump, land the the water, and do a nice relaxing dive all in one shot? Anywhere besides (maybe) the military, that is?

There's no good reason for it .... just seems like a really neat one-of experience not many people would have done.

Sounds like yet another PADI Speciality class in the making....

If you fully inflate your drysuit it will double as a parachute.

It'll turn into a "when I'm jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, on my way to do a scuba dive, should I use split fins or force fins? " kind of thread....

Gotta be something to this

whoa...no such thing as a perfectly good airplane...it is a necessary evil device utilized to acquire altitude in order to experience short term freedom from the physical laws of gravity

Is that kinda like when you have an engine fail on take in a twin engine airlplane and someone asks "how long can you fly on the other engine" and you reply with "all the way to the scene of the crash" ?

 

[RiggedEscape]

I didn't think it would go the split vs force fin route...I was thinking it'd be more of a "do you use your OMS rig or the Oceanic when you bail out?"..because we all know integrated weight is important for free falling
