Don, you remind me of the great Rodney "No Respect" Dangerfield.
I tell you, with my doctor, I don't get no respect. I told him, "I've swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills." He told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.
Ba Ding!!

Just to get back to the subject at hand. I go to Lake Rawlings so much as they call me the quarry queen. I know who the instructor was and i would let him dive with any of my friends or family. for the ems to arrive in 30 min is fast and impressive because of the location. I am sure the intructor and the employes of lake rawlings did all they could and the best they could. Diving does carry some risks. I hope the best for the victum and her family.

Let me get a soda so I can watch the Indians attacking the
cowboy.
It's amazing that no one ever puts themselves in
the other guys boots before taking pot shots with
sooo little informations.
"Snap' ( sound of the soda can being open ),
Now on with the real post.

Coming from a new guy that's dived Lake Rawlings a bit I'm very interested in 1st...how the young lady is doing and 2nd...what happened (from a desire to learn...I'm not a "rubber-necker"). Can anybody provide an update?
For those who haven't dived LR it's been a very robust training environment for me so far. Especially with respect to temperature (7mm suit with hood & gloves encouraged), visibility/navigation and for learning to use new equipment.

He, who is without sin, may cast the first stonecrab.
Every should take the Rescue class after their O/W class.
I am taking mine next week. I have already read the book and I learned a bunch about stress and response.

Just went back to the dive "pooter" account from my last dive there (mid-July) and the min temp was 63F. I remember the thermal was at approximately 30' and we tried diving w/o hood and gloves on the first dive...brought back memories of North Dakota!
Could be a wimp factor on my part but I was just flat out cold! I could've been closer to the spring source but I still don't know exactly where that is.

I've been over the edge in my 3mm with a hood several times, I can tolerate one dive that way (Mid 50's) and the water feels so warm when you come back above the thremocline.
