Lift Bag VS. Lil' Irish Temper

[divergalinla]

Your story had me from the "get go" as they say here in La. I was giggling the whole time. Not only that, my daughter (also a diver) called me while I was reading it and of course, I had to read it to her! Keep writing...I'll subscribe to your threads!

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on scubaboard during the news..I'm on for an hour before I know it!! :lol2:

Its not "making light" its "witty banter"

Do I smell a feet first ascent in LIT's near future?

Feet first being hauled by the bag?

Funny story! Glad you got your lesson out of it as well. While I never had that experience using a reel and lift bag, I did have a similar one deploying a SMB for the first time in Thailand (no reel - just a line). It's very embarrasing to suddenly find yourself at the surface wrapped up in line and plastic sausage! :11: It always looked so easy when the DM's did it!

Feet first ascent, being drug by the evil orange one, and launched ten feet out of the water by the DPV..the story continues.
