Learn to Bounce Dive for spearfishing

[VooDooGasMan]

Rapture of the deep is where the deep air diving experience is most useful for bounce diving, especially in spearfishing you are thinking, moving to a good line of fire to put the subject in the target range, then you are now concentrating for the kill shot, and then the retrieval process, then you ascend.

For me this is the most excitement there is in bounce diving, I myself do every kind of diving and each dive can change in a split notion. To go and plan a dive is more of a team type of diving. when you dive with a buddy you go down do your dive and can communicate, and with a team the communication gets more involved. So when rapture of the deep gets involved. now you have to change the plan and all members need notified. It is better to let it be known that when one Has had to many martinis, you will send them to the surface and the dive is over, even if the diver dose not feel there is a narc going on, all agree to surface.

Bounce diving solo is a self though when you decide to do it, you have to be sure of what you except is a dive to depth and a dive to come back from, so you test yourself and make sure your motor skills are aware and you are monitoring your air, depth and time.

That is where you are wrong. Making a single bounce dive in a day (exclusive of the issues of CO2 retention, speed of compression narcosis and overshooting your depth) is fine, making more than one without a very significant surface interval is the stuff of booger-eating morons.

Well thal many have done it and you do have a SI, i myself have done it with shorter if needed and was just fine, probably most recent was a couple of years ago and the fish regs were different, you could retain as big of a lingcod you want.

The wife told me she shot one as big as I did, I laughed cause I got a monster, she said I did, then I switched tanks and she told me about where she was and after 5 mins i seen the sucker and I chased it for a while, I knew it would die So I had to get it, eventually after some depth I fooled it and came up under neath it and took it by HELLO.

Found pic but it was another camera and wont download, have to figure out later.


So I did back to back with not even anything more than a safety stop.


Younger years i did these to wrecks in the great lakes often.


Co2 does need to be considered and will have to see if an easy vid lesson is available.

Are the chambers running a little low to forecasted sales this year? Is that why you are on this kick? Your posts sound like you are earning a commission for every dumbass you can convince to get bent by your bad advice.

it's strange that when people do dumb things they feel the need to post their experiences for others. Encouraging others to bounce dive is more foolish than doing it yourself.
New divers reading this thread should know that many disagree with your bounce diving techniques and rationalization and think your practices are really dumb. But it's a free country, bounce dive till you're dead, i don't really care...at least you'll just kill yourself and no one else.

Knowing how to bounce dive is far superior than most(ones that post against in this thread) recreational diver can accept, tech divers do it, rebreather divers do it, so I guess this is some more research that will show that the deep air bounce dive will prepare you for advanced diving.

The Isralie navy suggest that one year of shallow oxygen CCR diving decreases the trait of Co2 retention without diminishing a divers ability to detect effects of carbon dioxide.

Need to fillet fish, rinse fish, and prepare for some salmon fishing, looks to be another sunny day.

I don't know any tech divers who are into bounce diving ... nor have I ever heard it promoted as a safe practice in any tech class I've ever taken or attended.

What tech divers are doing it?

And correct me if I'm wrong ... but wasn't it a quick bounce that killed Wes Skiles on a rebreather?
