Hello Divers... have you heard of the two incident that happened in less than two weeks apart?

deaths, come in waves.....

the last time there were 3 in a row.

yes people do die scuba diving it's a statistic (quotable quotes from a diving doc) to add more to it, it goes , its not a matter of who, but when....

Hello PPD... i read the link... sorry guys but i have no idea... just rumors... being a new diver i just want to learn from what happened so atleast it will help me not to get into such situation or if ever accidentaly I got into such i'm prepared... thanks for the welcome...

Learnig from the mistakes of others is often a good way to learn. Dwelling on these two incidents, however, will not produce as much knowlege as continuing your diving education. Each course is designed based on the experiences of many divers over many years.
The tradgedies of the past few weeks will be added to the body of knowlege for course material for future divers.

umm.. what incident? can someone fill in the clueless?

the first incident was a couple weeks ago after a discover scuba course. It involved a teenage boy.

The second incident was last weekend and happened at mainit point. Not much is known except that it involved sharing air with the DM.

The Yahoo diversions group has some speculations, but no official accident reports have been released yet for either incident (ie around here we're not so much into speculating incidents unless you have all the facts out).

you will notice "i need to go wee-wee" is not a valid abort excuse...

you may ask maggie tips on how to solve that...

Funny thing on the "wee-wee"......
Last week one of DIVEMASTER CANDIDATES (yes, he did graduate) was performing his demonstration task for me when he suddenly doubled over as if he were about blow chunks.....he grabbed his stomach, using his hands said "one second please", proceeded to go over to a rock, act as if he were going to sit down, squatted in a hover, proceeded to evacuate his very loose bowels (oh yeah), came back to my position finished his demonstration task and got a 4. Now, I thought I had seen it all.......I was laughing my ass off all the way back to the beach. Great guy, super student, the obud manok just didn't agree with him.

i remember a story my dive instructor told me. he was diving and decided to take a dump. he was wearing board shorts so it was convenient. problem was, he didnt take the current into account. so there he was, practically swimming in his own poop and the fish were eating it up. lets just say he didn't touch the fish served for lunch at aquaV
