    Debbie Fletcher aka Jocassee Girl

    I will miss diving with you, and our talks of your family home Attakulla Lodge which rests at the bottom of Jocassee. I have too many tears right now to type more. From Debbie Fletcher’s daughter Pam just a few moments ago: I’m sorry for those who are finding out this way … My mom has...

    Diver recovered after 13 years

    I would want to be recovered if possible for the sake of my family and for future divers. I would hate to have my rotting body continue to ruin dives for people and disturb them. For my part, I don't care as I will be gone. I would NOT want anyone to risk their life to haul me up or look for me.

    First time diver with question about weird physical sensations after cert dives!

    Perhaps someone told him to use the search function. And perhaps he wanted to participate rather than just read since this is a discussion board. There is often value in reviving an old thread.

    Cave, cavern & wreck entry diving tips for open water divers

    boulderjohn, I think this is a helpful post and it helps explain how very competent people can do very incompetent things.

    Cave, cavern & wreck entry diving tips for open water divers

    Here is the latest open water diver tip of the day thread. Open Water Instructor/father takes his 2 college age kids for a little swim in a cave. Someone warned them not to go just before they did and the son replied as I understand it that it was ok because they were with instructor/dad...

    Cave, cavern & wreck entry diving tips for open water divers

    The title of the thread is intentionally misleading--just like a dive professional telling a new diver or a diver untrained in overheads--"no problem you are with me an "instructor" trust me you will be fine on this dive." I do hope people will read the thread and the "tips" they take away will...

    Cave, cavern & wreck entry diving tips for open water divers

    I am hoping for a little more than don't do it. There are real reasons why one should not do it. People don't know what they don't know and this is a chance to tell them.

    What actions do you take when you can't see and need help?

    If you have an unreliable buddy that is not paying attention, a noise maker won't change things much at all for you--especially if you have a medical episode and are not able to make noise. If you read the accident section of this forum, you will find that most often when people die while...

    Cave, cavern & wreck entry diving tips for open water divers

    There have been a number of threads through the years that have said new divers and open water divers in general are not educated enough on the cave, cavern and wreck environments when they are introduced to scuba and therefore do not make well reasoned decisions about such entry. All too...

    Buying a used BC

    Glow, it looks like you are in Charleston, SC area. Here is a link a thread with a bunch of old salts in your area. I have not met any of these folks in person, but they have been very helpful to me in answering questions about low country diving. Perhaps one of those guys could help you find...

    Which Wing?

    I have been diving a Golem stainless steel kit for 6 years and love it. He sells the whole kit for $380. Golem Gear, Inc.

    Support my LDS? Really?

    Will your union pay for you to take the class from LDS#2? Might be worth checking into and give a $$$$ to the guy who is trying to treat you right.

    What actions do you take when you can't see and need help?

    WoodnDive, It seems you have the best safety device already in place--a buddy that is paying attention and able to respond. There really is no substitute for that. Make sure your accessory of a working competent buddy is with you on every dive and that you are the same kind of buddy. You...

    cooper river dive light?

    11x, you look like a water bunny. That being said, that is a way cool light set up for diving in the river. I am jealous!

    Four dead in Italian cave

    Thanks for the clarification. I just wanted to make sure that I did not misunderstand what you posted.

    Teen fatality - Ras Al Khaimah

    It seems to me there is more to this story. Something would have to pull the hose/pipe tight. It just would not do that all by itself.

    Four dead in Italian cave

    Thanks for the update Jim. So were the other 4 deaths part of this same group that died at a later time or other dives not related to this cave dive?

    Four dead in Italian cave

    I hate reading threads like this because these deaths were entirely preventable. Not an accident at all, but rather pure foolishness. Sigh...

    Diver pulled from Massachusetts training pond

    Are you certain about that? If you are breathing compressed air and surface too quickly you can have issues even without a deco obligation. 30 feet in 30 seconds would not be your best option. I could be wrong though.
