nova:

To provide reference to return the way you came.... not to blindly follow into a dead end. You don't get "lost" and then rely on lines; you use lines to keep yourself from getting lost in the first place.

You never trust a line or marker you haven't personally verified yourself.

I'll remember that as I celebrate my 13 aniversary with my wife tonight. I wonder if some of the old lines will still work :D BTW hows the hand
 
hands are ok... thumbs are pretty messed up (blue, black, and swollen)

no infection though, so it should ice down fine

captndale:
Permanent lines should NEVER be left inside of wrecks. While it is ok to temporarily place base lines while doing an exploration or survey they should always be retreived when the project is completed. Wrecks are not like caves. Wrecks are living things. They move; bulkheads and decks collapse; lines get trapped and lines get buried in debris. A "permanent" line can soon become obstructed to the point that it can not be followed. If a diver finds himself lost and tries to follow an old "permanent" line it may just lead him into a dead end.

And here I thought Caves were living things....cave-ins are probably not as frequent, but as has been stated, the only worthwhile line is one that has been personally verified, whether in a wreck, a cave, or a bar :wink:

I dunno....I see the same lines being used over and over in bars.....thankfully, the ladies are smart enough not to trust em unless they have been personally verified.
