It got me wondering how many scuba divers are members of the '5 Fathom Club'. If you have enjoyed the ultimate 'buddy dive' with one of your diving friends while on scuba and at a depth of about 30' or more, you're in!
Do you think they would issue a specialty card for it?? It would be a great card for the card collectors out there. Maybe even get those milestones on them, ie 50th "special buddy dive".

What would be the pre-requisite for becoming an instructor of this program?

What would be minimum equipment? What would be minimum bottom time? Would there be a rapid ascent alarms?

I have some photos but I guess I better not attach them.

Well I am dating a tech and my dive partner is a tech and well neither are anal.

Cobaltbabe, dating a diver is a very bad thing to do as a diver (see the Women's only section). Especially with underwater coms. LOL :D

We have great underwater communications ;) . And we have more in common then just diving, you have to if it is going to work.
 
But... a few years back I got invited to Brasil to video some of the caves down there... some really beautiful trimix depth caves near Bonito. Anyway, a bunch of us were getting ready to go into this particular hole in the ground and we are standing around some makeshift benches chit-chatting and I turned to one of my buddies as I'm putting KW jelly on my drysuit cuffs (makes putting them on easier) and he is connecting his Pvalve to... well you know. And I said: "Larry, if you'd have told me ten years ago, I'd be in Brasil one day, with KW in one hand and a condom in the other, I think I'd have had a whole other activity in mind!"

He giggled and dropped his condom down the leg of his drysuit.

Technical divers stay down longer!

Thanks

Steve!!!! My friend, I have a new respect for you. Loved the story.
 
I sure thought this thread was going to be a lot more interesting than that. I'll save my ultimate buddy dive experience for when I dive with a woman I truly like and we're not here in the cold waters of southern California! Thailand or Tahiti anyone?
