Equipment Dive Knife in an emergency

[Bookworm11]

You are not allowed to carry dive knives in the Cozumel Marine Park unless you are a professional diver. Just saying. I'm not taking a stance on this, I'm just reporting the regulation. And as an aside, I found a dive knife in its leather sheath at the bottom at a dive in Koh Tao. The DM said he was going to sharpen it back up and keep it.

Well, they can rest easy. Since I won't dive without a knife, I won't bring one there. No problem!

Where do you keep a line cutter like the Aqualung Micro Squeeze? I am right handed and have my SPG console on the right side (because or air integration on left) and I keep my DSMB in my right BCD pocket for convention.

Put it on our chest strap so you can easily reach it with either hand.

Some countries don't allow you to carry dive knives.

What countries are those?

I misinterpreted your first comment. When you said "countries" I thought you actually meant "countries." But what you apparently mean is "locations" or "dive sites" There is a quarry in Virginia that does not allow dive knives, but I would not say that the United States disallows dive knives.

Why would a quarry not allow a dive knife? That seems silly.

Because some idiot divers were carving their initials into the dock.
We are our own worst enemies.

It’s just a quarry not an archeological site… what’s the big deal? Won’t hurt to see an “Archie Loves Betty” style graffiti with a heart sign somewhere underwater … I might just gag with mirth on my regulator if I ever see such a thing …

May your wishes come true.

A serrated knife is the idea tool for spreading cream cheese on crackers after the dive.
