I respectfully disagree. After seperation, my main concern is my safety. Assuming you have no reason to believe that your buddy is in trouble, that is to say you became seperated due to a deviation in the dive plan due to visibility or other non emergency reason, then assuring your own safety...

WOW! At that depth you could fall out of your chair. Stan

Just remember, you don't have to out swim the shark . . . just your buddy.:babycrawl

If you ever find me at 200 meters, I won't be reading my watch. Stan

Hi, I am considering taking the PADI Wreck diving class. What are the pros and cons? Thanks, Stan

As I have posted before, the best source for extra potassium is Morton salt subsitute. About 600 mg per 1/4 teaspoon which is better than eating a stalk of bananas. Have you tried a larger fin size? Any compression on the side of the foot will lead to cramping and since it seems like you...

According to the link I posted above, the new technique is "legal" for application by anyone. Stan

University of Arizona developed this technique - http://www.heart.arizona.edu/publiced/lifesaver.htm Please note that in the fine print, it states that, "* For cases of suspected drowning, drug overdose or collapse in children, follow standard CPR (2 mouth-to-mouth breaths for every 30...

I am easily confused, so keep it simple. Stan

After watching the "it really bites episode," I want the sharks to eat these idiots! They are rubbing chum all over themselves, why? What's the point? Yes, if you are covered in rotten fish you may get bit? Give me a break. Stan

Hell, I look worse than that before I dive. Don't ya just love that natty BCD. Stan

In my life I have returned: 1. A Rolex president. 2. Money clip with $940.00 3. Bank deposit chewed but not digessed by a night deposit drawer - 12,000 + in cash and 4000+ in checks. 4. Food to Kogers valued at 12.00+ (put in my cart on check out by mistake) 5. Countless (because Walmart...

Did you ever see the coliform profiles from a major city in the summer. E. Coli is not in danger of extinction in Louisiana. (Coliform - used to describe rod-shaped bacteria that are normally found in the colons of humans and animals and become a serious contaminant when found in the food or...

Did you ever think about what you breathe, sleep with, or eat? Trust me, it's (much) worse. Stan

My guess. Stan

When diving in a group I have found (in many cases) 1. A pre-dive briefing by the DM that left me confused. 2. The actual dive occurring in confusion. 3. My feeling that my buddy wasn't the least concerned about my where-abouts or my problems. 4. A feeling of responsibility to 'follow my...

Got to say I agree. Not one LDS in Shreveport or Monroe offers a connection to a rig dive, but if you want to go to Bonaire . . . Can't understand it. Stan

Hey, to make the show more interesting, they could put divers in the water with the hamburger rubbed on them . . . or chum the surf at Destin early in the morning, you know . . ., before the swimmers get there. Then they could tie rump roast on to a line attached to the rental hobie's. Great...

It has worked great for me. Except under extreme need of power (strong current) I use this style almost all of the time. My speed is good enough, I do not kick up silt, and I have less problems with ham string and calf cramps. (SAC rate doesn't count with me, if mine gets any lower, check me...
