I just met the personification of "CRAZY"

[mello-yellow]

The Insane Lady (and I use the term in deepest admiration) went to 350' on air at the age of twelve. She explained semi-apologetically "You realize that 350' in warm Caribbean is very different from 350' here in New England. I was far more narced on my first New England dive at 180 feet." That one was when she was 13.

Now she races motorcycles, and claims that "lack of self-preservation is like having extra 30 horsepowers" -- if two racers have identical bikes, the one who does not care about survival will win.

When we were coming out of the water yesterday, I noticed she was shivering in her 5 mm wetsuit. I asked "You are from Caribbean. What possessed you to move to Massachusetts? It's cold here!" Her response: "I like America. America is fun."

I can not decide whether I am terrified or in love.

Where were the parents?

 

[mello-yellow]

My guess is her parents taught her deco tables -- and were probably with her at the first NE dive. Would any Rhode Island boat take a 13-year old on a technical dive without parents?

The 350' drop was a shore dive.

sounds like you've been hit by a love bug. :laughing:

how OLD is she now????

 

[Divin'Papaw]

Sorry, call me a skeptic, but I don't buy it. I'd need some sort of proof or at least additional corroboration before I'd believe that tall tale.

 

[Hemlon]

Is it possible that she was just exagerating her stories in an effort to impress you?

how OLD is she now????

32

That occurred to me too.

Yeah 350' on air is a ppO2 of 2.4. That's way up there.
Something about this is pretty fishy.

Lots of people who "dive" claim to have been to "300ft" but somehow I doubt it.

Well, she *is* a technical instructor, so she can not be completely full of it.
