In the Death of 2 Divers, and 2 divers that are ok in hospital visit and 2 divers made the dive successfully. This was a planned dive in a cold water lake, where your regulator can free-flow causing air to escape fast. When Deep diving In fresh water that is cold, You must be prepared for plenty of gas on the dive for this will happen and you should be prepared for it with todays single hose regulators.

Narcosis is a huge difference in deep cold water, so diving with a single tank is a term that has come up to be a Bounce Dive, you know that you can encounter narcosis and gear failure at the same time.

Deep Cold Water Bounce Dives has killed many divers in the past and even today.

These recent Instructors planned there dive and the outcome is devastating.

They ran out of air, Could not establish buoyancy while sharing air, and turned one victim into two victims. So much went wrong and they said they discussed the technical aspects in order to perform the dive safely. They were far from ready to perform this deep cold water dive on a single tank, this is a Bounce Dive and it needs to be treated Differently.

Learn the right gear and all thing that will happen in Deep Cold Water Bounce Dives Before Even Trying to Perform One.
 
Whats up with the defining every dive as a bounce dive these days?

pffff.

and while we're at it, why don't you just leave those divers out of it and make up some other kind of fiction because you're not being true to the facts in this case either. What you posted is 100% speculation (aside from the part about making 2 victims when one was enough, I believe).

You already tried twice to hijack that other thread, got reported for it twice, had your posts removed twice, got reprimanded twice and now you're trying again in another part of the forum where you think you'll be able to get away with it.

By now WE ALL KNOW that this is your favourite thing (or maybe the only thing) you care to talk about and that you're trying to brand yourself as some kind of self-proclaimed master of the deep bounce. Well I have news for you because privately I know that some people are wondering when we're going to be writing about you on the A&I forum because you're not gaining much respect for this thing you're on about and you're constantly advocating practices that make some people curl their toes, roll their eyes and say a prayer for you... which, in my opinion, may very well be one of the reasons why you are still here.

Give it a break already and for crying out loud if you want to go on and on and on about it then don't take things from the A&I forum and make fiction about it to pump up your delusions of grandeur. Just make something up that didn't happen and hope we don't notice instead. At least that way you won't be so irritating.

And yes VoodooGasMan, he quoted me but was talking about you:cool2:
 
Deep cold water bounce dives are an act of stupidity by people who are too lazy, ignorant, or cheap to learn how to do deep cold water dives properly.

Does anything else really need to be said?

oh sorry about that. quoted the wrong post indeed.

R..
NP, it dont take MUCH activity on SB to realize you where talking about him and probably me quoted me as a "and on that note.."
 
roto just as earlier you read something wrong and needed to figure it out.

MySelf I have brought up dead divers in the greatlakes before the internet was born, Lake Superior was the most Deep Cold Water Bounce Dive Death Out of all the lakes.

These Instructors reminded me of a Group of Instructors long ago that did not even know where they were hooked on the ship, let alone knew enough of the close proximity of the diver. When I found the diver he passed out and still had reg in mouth, My buddy seen me ascending with the diver and came to help, which at this point I could not go to the surface as I was at depth to long. My Buddy took him up and haulled ass to shore in my boat and he went to chamber and lived. That does not happen much on these types of dives. On the way back to shore with the instructors, they all could not believe how they got so narced up, One of them asked why I did not get Narcosis, I told him I was blown out of my mind And was use to it and I was stupid for even going looking for your buddy as I was frantically looking for you buddy I was getting more narced each second.

There is No Training in Bounce Dives and anyone that Dives is acceptable to doing a bounce dive no matter what there dive status is.
