Anyone here dive drunk?

[tphelps]

I think you just opened yourself to the firing squad mate. Wow where to begin? For one, it was an entertaining story. Amazing that you were still laughing as all of this was happening (maybe because you were narked/drunk???). You have to be, by far, the LUCKIEST diver I have ever heard of. 200 feet on air, approaching 1.6 max P02 (CNS OxTox danger)...Inverted in the drysuit, can lead to an out of control ascent... "Beeping" and deco... you went past your NDL which I assume you do not have training for...Out of air, obvious hazard. And the precursor to all of this, diving drunk and high.

Im going to go out on a limb here and say this has to be a troll. It says you have 100-200 dives, Im assuming you knew better than this. So if that's the case, I applaud you for the fictional story. I did lol a bit from shock.

If NOT... I have to agree with Danvolker 1000% on this. As a rebreather diver on 4 units and as a tec diver, I can honestly say you will kill yourself. Tec and CCR is definitely not for you. You are truly lucky to be alive.

Now for my own story... I buddy of mine was a DM for this boat in Thailand. One of the resort divers walks on to the boat 5 mins late with a half empty beer in his hands. "Sorry Im late guys! Bitch at the bar took forever." They proceed to do the roll call and cast off. When they are about 200 yards away from the dock, the captain asks my buddy to drive the boat. The captain goes over to this diver with the beer in his hand. He asks "You ready to dive man?" The man replies, "yeah my gear is all set up." The Captain asks "That looks like a new beer, can I try a sip?" Almost shocked, the man agrees and hands over the beer. Beer in hand the captain "Spartan-kicks" the man off!!! His head pops up and of course he is pissed "WTF! HOW DARE YOU! COME BACK!" The captain laughs and says, "You will never dive on this boat again, have a good swim back to shore!" And they drive off. (what happened afterwards I didnt hear)

The take home message from your story, its a great showcase how stupid it is to drink and dive!!!

The fact that there are responses from people that think a story about a guy dving on ecstacy sharing air with his narced dog could actually, even remotely, be anything but fiction... is highly disturbing.

If this whole thing is what you think is a "creative writing" exercise, and you thought it was funny....it does not belong here.

Was it moved? It's in humour/games/clips/yarns/tales

Anyway, must make my post in the PADI/DIR thread look like intelligent commentary

Not much to say other than.....

First, there is no way you know for sure whether this happened, or whether it was a poor attempt at creative writing.

If it was just a fiction, the problem is that "this kind" of fiction does not fit in this forum....it would be like going to a party at the White House, and "joking" about the bomb you are hiding for the President....A person putting this kind of fiction out, in this venue, is probably going to have real problems and the fiction may well be great indicator that this person needs psychological screening and help.

Like my friend would say in this case: "Can you give me the phone number of your dealer ?"

Obviously, some folks missed that this was a farce.
