Sun Sentinel reporter Steve Waters averts diving disaster
I saw this today on the Sun Sentinels homepage, and figured it would be interesting to discuss here.
The short of it (can we quote stories, or part of stories after here? I know there have been some recent incidents on other forums)
The reporter Steve Waters, was diving in Boca Raton FL, for lobster, and apparently his buddy was doing some spearing. Unable to inflate his BC, and so over weighted you could not swim his rig even a little bit off the bottom he had to have his buddy swim him to the surface, and preform a rescue.
I could not imagine being so over weighted now that I could not swim my rig to the surface if my BC malfunctioned.. What are all your thoughts.
