Divers Missing - Florida west coast

[CuzzA]

I can hear him say in the first video 'f%$#in Je#$% Ch@#$%!' LOL

Lol, yeah funny video, but it illustrates how strong they are. We usually dive public artificials in the winter. Still lots of Goliaths, but it's so cold they don't move much.

I liked the colorful language in the video. I saw a 6’+ one in the Caymans. He did not look like the type to be intimidated.

Glad the two divers were found alive. That must have been a long sucky night alone in the ocean.

My offshore kit is pretty robust. 3 bright ass lights, 6’ SMB, 1st gen Nautilus Lifeline, and a dye pack.

Getting lost and staying lost ain’t somethin I’m about.

Dye pack? how does that work?

Does that need to go in checked bag for airplane travel?

I dunno. I don’t work for TSA.

My guess is that they would give you a hard time over it. Generally speaking they aren’t a bunch of scholars.

My little "I'm ****ed" kit is a LM can with a PLB, chem light, dye pack, and a granola bar. It always goes in the checked baggage so I couldn't tell you if the TSA would get their panties in a wad. I've also got one of those SeeRescueStreamers that I've never taken with me. I wouldn't use the dye marker until the PLB has gone off, depending on current it goes away pretty quickly.

Do you know if it's a liquid, powder, or solid?

Powder

But anecdotes from friends suggest that opening it up leads to leaks in the water. Not ideal.

The TSA isn't into powders on carry on baggage anymore, either. Checked baggage is where it will go. Thanks.
