<<Just how things go sometimes. SB is very conservative>>

That summary indicates that the responses aren't far off the mark. "Very conservative" would indicate that "could have been killed" adventures are not an uncommon occurence for the majority of divers, but I don't believe that is true. Responses would have been different if your story stopped at the first life endangering experience. It was after the second half of what you knew to be a dumb idea for trivial gain that we determined that you were being wantonly reckless.

Hopefully you have found yourself after the divorce because it is easy to lose yourself in a relationship. It's only after you leave it that you realize how much you have changed. And hopefully you have changed the mindset that you don't care about yourself because of someone else's opinion of you. The hell with them. When everybody walks out the door, you are left with you. And that's who counts.

It was a good thing to post this because some others do have such adventures maybe for the same reasons.

Indeed. No haven’t found myself since. But generally a safe diver this was just a weird one.

And none seemed related TBH. Scooter flooding. Staff free diving. Silkies getting frisky.

The only two things that should have been markers were diving a scooter without training (even tho it’s easy) and then the kit recovery gig which was stupid but we were given wrong info about depth. Still stupid. Still how it goes sometimes. Not any of our finest hours.
