DR BILL!!

I will consider it an honor to buy it for you!

when I buy my copy!

pm me your address, I want you to have a gifted copy. (or your mom's address)

this film is just very original, like you.
 
wow, I thought it looked funny.

What problem did the dad/diver who was harvesting sponges have that made him scream and then sink? And what kind or rig was that?
I think he was diving a hard hat with surface supplied air- didn't the compressor fail? I've heard of hard hat divers getting sucked into their helmets when the line ruptures- the air wants to ascend and creates a vacuum behind it, which sucks the diver up the hose. I think the modern helmets have check valves that prevent this from happening and divers have bail out bottles to remedy the ensuing out of air emergency. Of course, I could have been cyber diving that day... :D

Anyway, back to the movie, I thought he was on a wall and took his hands off to grab his helmet, which was the proximate cause of his descent.

not sure but I thought it was a compressor issue(surface supplied) I need to watch again
 
Dr Bill, is that similiar to the California urchin-diver hooka rigs, or whatever they are called?
 
Hookah is surface supplied but I believe the one in Big Blue is/was an even more ancient one than Bill may be familar with....
