Five of us did an 81 min dive tonight, all in a group (2 teams), and all on doubles. It was a drills-and-stuff dive. There was me and my regular buddy, and three guys with less than 10 doubles dives between the three of them.
Anyway, at the end of the dive, four of us shot bags.
I can imagine the guy on shore seeing a rather sizable mass of bubbles from the five of us grouped pretty close together. Suddenly he sees a bright orange bag hit the surface (mine). The bubbles and the bag are not moving. He doesn't know that, 25' below, Bob is struggling to shoot his first bag.
It takes Bob a good five minutes, but eventually, the guy on shore sees another bag pop up. Still the bubbles and bags do not move. Another few minutes go by and another bag pops up (Marks first bag shoot, too). Another minute and my buddy's bag pops up, making four bags floating in a cauldron of bubbles.
This must be when the guy called 911.
You've got to remember, this lake is in northern Idaho, where seeing just one diver is unusual.
When we finally motored into shore and surfaced, the guy yelled down that he had called 911.
"We're fine," I yelled up to him. "Call them back and cancel."
The sheriff never showed up, which makes me believe that our own Gary D. must have taken the call, and got delayed at Crispy Cream.
Anyway, has anyone else had any strange reactions from people seeing your underwater antics?
