DIR - Light question

As for scooters, I find them a natural evolution for all tech divers, not just cavers. WW

It would be nice if that were the case. However, I think that there are whole lot more tech divers out there who do not scooter than there are those that do scooter. For me personally, I was scootering as a rec diver long before I became a cave or tech diver. A scooter can get someone in trouble faster than just about any other aspect of diving. A lot of so called tech divers do not possess the frame of mind to handle the extra task loading associated with scooters.

Not quite O Ring....

I fell while taking gear to the truck Sunday afternoon. I tripped and fell forward, stuck my arm out (iinstict, but dont EVER do it!!). Hurt but didnt think much of it at the time. Still hurt on the 12 drive home, but.... Tues went and got some xrays and found out I fractured the ulna in 2 places and also the radial head (in the elbow). GOt a purdy splint and a couple weeks dry out of the deal (and you should SEE the bruise!).

She raised her arm to thumb the dive but her buddy got mad cause he still had 500 psi and they were only 12 grand back. He put her arm in his Gavin to make a point and it snapped like a twig.. (he had one of the "special" wind motors)

LOL....now thats tragic.......how did the gavin hold up

I know of some good medicine for when the land sickness gets too much to handle.
