Thank you, OzGriffo, for your post. By posting here, you are contributing to the overall knowledge of safe dive practices for divers. How deep was the wreck? How long was the propeller shaft? ---------- Post added August 5th, 2013 at 06:10 AM ---------- Tony, did you read the post...

Nathalie, thank you for your posts here on ScubaBoard. It is obvious that your posts have touched many of us who have read them. I wish you a full and happy recovery. ---------- Post added July 24th, 2013 at 08:45 AM ---------- This is a good question. The answer depends, in my humble...

Thank you for the post. I hope the diver makes it.

You handled the situation very well, citycountryguy. Thank you for sharing your story here on SB. Personally I think it was wise to go to your wife.

bashing doesn't help people to learn. respectful, thoughtful discussion does.

Thank you for sharing your experience here on SB, DumpsterDiver. By doing so, you are helping other divers to learn and to be safer. I will only quibble with your view of "giving people crap." That is NOT what should happen here on SB, especially with new divers. If we want people to admit...

This is true. However, some operators effectively push Trust Me dives. They expect divers to follow the DM. I've seen it. New divers may not know any better. They may feel pressure to be accommodating to the crew. It takes some experience and some attitude to say, "No; i'm doing my own...

Thank you for sharing this post, Bayara. I hope that the tips were low.

New divers tend to trust Dive Instructors. I don't blame the divers. I blame their Instructor.

Jim, thank you very much for posting here on ScubaBoard. By doing so you are helping the dive community. Thank goodness that you are okay. It sounds like the PFO might have been a contributing factor. Does anyone know what percentage of the general population is walking around with...

carpster61, you did well. you have absolutely noting to be embarrassed about. you will pass. hang in there.

Under American common law, if you hold yourself out as a professional, such as a doctor or a SCUBA Instructor, you will be held to the standard of that professional. If you hold yourself out as a person who is capable fo teaching SCUBA and if somone reasoanably relies on that representation...

I don't want to be harshly crticial. I thank you, OP, for posting here. I'm an attorney and I've been invovled with legal matters related to recreational diving. Please do not attempt to teach anyone else to dive again.

JadeNorth, I am very sorry about the death of your father. Like others, I wonder about a heart condition as a possible cause of death. I am a lawyer in the USA and have been involved with SCUBA accident matters. I agree with DCBC. you need an Egyptian lawyer or, at minimum, an...

I am NOT a doctor. I defer to the medical doctors on SB. Having said that, I'll venture my ignorant lay opinion. Pain in the leg? Sounds serious to me. Why not call DAN? Cost? Well, what's the cost of long-term disability?

My thoughts exactly. This is interesting, Jim. Please run a Thread on it.

That's one of the things I like about the Keys. The dive Ops assume you are an adult and they leave you alone.

I agree. It made for difficult reading.

Barracud2, thank you for posting. Like the others, I am happy that you are okay. It sounds like you handled everything well. If I may ask, how ol are you? Do you have anyithing in your history that might be relevant? It take it that this was a solo dive. correct? (I'm not judging, just...

Hintermann, if you're still following this Thread, I have a question. If you should decide to not answer publicly, I undertand. I can't remember how many dives you had done ON THAT TRIP before you dove the SFM. Did you dive the day before you dove the SFM? I wonder if there might have been...
