I have only one question.
Has anyone been close to meeting his maker while diving?
Just courious.

No flaming Please

How close is close? I've been closer than I wanted to be, and closer than I thought I was but never too close to cause serious introspection. I've also been much closer to death skiing than diving and closer to death in confrontations with other human beings than with anything can imagine meeting under water.

My worst experience diving was seeing a buddy panic too late and get a lung injury. I've never seen anyone die diving but I have had several friends die in more mundane kinds of accidents.

I kinda lean to the dying while I am sleeping thing! I don't like pain!

If I should die while diving please do not hesitate to discuss the incident and assess every element with a view to furthering your understanding of how to enhance diver safety.

If I should die while diving get the facts. They won't be readily available and will definitely not be correct as reported by the media. But get the facts as best you can.

If I should die while diving understand, as I already do, that it will most likely involve fault on my part to some degree or another so do not hesitate to point that out.

If I should die while diving some of the fault will probably belong to my buddy and that needs to be honestly assessed as well though I must admit this is one area where I hope that compassion will be in the mix.

If I should die while diving there might be those who try to squelch discussion out of a misplaced notion of respect for the deceased, family and friends. They can say nice things about me at my funeral... but in the scuba community I want the incident discussed.

If I should die while diving at least I didn't die in bed.
And after having gleaned all learning from that dive ...

... may we then dwell only on whatever in your life was true, and honorable, and just, and pure, and commendable, whatever was excellent and worthy of any praise. Peace.
 
If I should die while diving know that I asked the big GUY for a reply but went happy doing what I like to do none the less.

Or at your post.
 
UP,

As long as you don't die before I get to meet you someday.

I need to know you don't REALLY look like a camel. :11:
