You are missing the point and I am tired of flogging it. We will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

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...
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...
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.
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...

Two Terms of Endearment
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...
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...
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...
Yeah, Steve and Dottie are the owners of LVDC.....I just figured you and George would know each other due to both of you being NAUI course directors....no big deal...
