How do you like that? Can anyone top that one?
LK no need to respond as we have already heard yours.
Not all of them believe me.
I have to say before I go further this one was not in Thailand.
A number of years ago I and my buddy booked on a dive trip and after the boat had left, it would appear one member of staff had a problem and was unfit to dive. As we were experienced we were asked if we minded diving alone rather than diving with a large group of less experienced divers, to which we agreed. We were given a good briefing about the wreck and away we went.
We were the first in the water and the last out having conducted the dive within safe limits I was most surprised to have a very concerned staff member meet us at the platform wanting to inspect our computers, he was quite alarmed that the time we were in the water we must have exceeded the NDL.
Our computers had actually gone into deco mode and I explained that within our training it is acceptable, when he then produced a large Padi dive table and said we could not dive again that day and indeed for (I think) the next 24 hours. Despite trying to allay his fears that what we had done was perfectly safe he was insisting that we went on oxygen immediately. My buddy even showed him the dive planner on his computer that clearly showed we were ok. Only to be told 'I dont believe that thing'.
Of course we went on the second dive, again alone. This time we were greeted at the surface by a rescue boat, waiting to take us to a medical facility. After a short discussion the rescue boat departed without us, leaving us and a very red faced instructor with the dive boat.
Just out of interest when I got home I actually checked the dive against the BSAC tables and according to those we didn't even go into deco.
