My Venture into GUE - Another view

I'm pretty sure he's talking about you, Casey... I know I felt intimidated!

Semi-Related Note: I submit that regular OW scootering with solid teammates promotes a healthy attitude, because it's just too damn fun to get really negative about anything short of an actual accident.

Scootering makes everything better

I'm not sure what would be worse. A sierra in 5th gear into a jackstraw piling, or face-first into a sea nettle. (laughing)

If you really want to promote solid team skills, do it in low-vis. Last week we had two teams (5 divers) do about an hour on the trigger together in roughly 15-foot vis. Flying in formation's fun ... well ... until we get around a bunch of jackstraw pilings ... then I totally go into "harbor seal pup" mode ...

15-foot is "low-viz"?

I was thinking the same thing...

On a scooter, trying to keep five divers together ... sure. In a team of three, the wing men are gonna be about 10 feet apart. Five more feet and they don't see each other.

How long does it take you to go five feet on a Sierra?

Not long, but we keep teams together in vis half of that.

Lol, my exact reaction to your "low-vis" post.

Just a little ribbing, Bob.

Yes, it can be a challenge keeping a team together scootering in those conditions.

Yup ... and I believe you were with me the day I almost became an idiot ...

Actually, I didn't even know what it was at the time ...
