- I just don't log dives
Glad you survived and had a good time doing it. The difficulty you had, but were able to overcome is one of the reasons a lot of us old timers would like to see some of the old training come back. What you described was part of my NAUI class in 62. Even when I watched some classes in the 70s they were doing it.
I think it's an overly risky exercise also, and honestly not very useful for problem solving.
Problem solving would involve determining who isn't qualified for a dive and then discreetly selecting an easier divesite without publicly embarrassing anybody. Or noticing that someone has all their gear on and the drysuit zipper is still open. Or noticing that someone has a BC dump valve stuck open before entry and fixing it.
