    Scuba diver dies after being found floating at Kurnell, NSW, Australia

    You are missing the point and I am tired of flogging it. We will just have to agree to disagree on this one. ---------- Post added October 17th, 2013 at 04:47 PM ----------

    Scuba diver dies after being found floating at Kurnell, NSW, Australia

    Good luck with that....as a person who already admitted to being able to hold breath until you pass out, I guess that makes you the authority on uncontrollable physical reactions to air deprivation......sorry for stepping on your expert toes. I agree that she should've been able to make it to...

    Scuba diver dies after being found floating at Kurnell, NSW, Australia

    I am not talking about stress or how stress affects panic limits. What I am talking about is the amount of air you have in your lungs when you realize you just ran out of air and the correlation between the amount of air actually in your lungs as it relates to how much time you have to solve...

    Scuba diver dies after being found floating at Kurnell, NSW, Australia

    It's not the response I'm speaking of so much as what it actually feels like. A lot of people make the wrong assumptions about it. Think about it, what is the last thing you do before you try to inhale and can't? You definitely don't have a lungful of air to work with like you would on a...

    If you've never run out of air underwater, you may not understand what it actually feels like. I have, and for me it was nothing like slamfire describes. No disrespect meant.

    Scuba diver dies after being found floating at Kurnell, NSW, Australia

    One of the unfortunate things that I've had to learn the hard way while diving is that no one really knows how they will handle a given situation until they are put into that situation in a very real way. Yes, training helps, and practicing skills helps, but I have found that your basic mindset...

    Death at Dutch Springs

    Two divers, both rated for solo diving, are diving at night when Dutch doesn't allow solo diving....one has a scooter and one doesn't. One diver doesn't report the other missing until sometime after completing his dive. With all the uber-intelligent people on this thread, I'm sure someone can do...

    Death at Dutch Springs

    Since we're talking hypothetically, lets say in your haste to get in the water you accidentally strap on a nearly depleted tank and forget to check your pressure. Say the tank has enough air in it for a couple of breaths, but not enough to inflate your bc at depth, and say you were carrying a...

    Death at Dutch Springs

    It can be difficult sometimes to stay with your dive buddy in the dark, especially if you don't have a light.

    Losing a Dive Buddy?

    Sounds like the first guy went in the water over-weighted and unprepared (properly inflated bc) and promptly sank like a...well, like an overweighted diver.. then the other two went in at pretty much the same time as the first guy, they assumed the first guy headed down to the meeting point and...
