Recovered from the surgery so I'm back in again. Dives scheduled for Wednesday and Friday

When I went with people with boats.

All divers carry smb's

Arrive at site and drop anchor, raise dive flag

Descend on anchor line

Check and set anchor if not already set.

Do dive

So there is/is not anybody on the boat during the dive?

 

[formernuke]

Nope, that's why we carry SMB's, just in case

Who will know to look for you? Just curious.

I'm not from here, in fact my family is in New Mexico. When I go out diving I tell them I'm out.

Other than that a orange flag waving in the ocean is a sign of distress, I personally also carry a signal mirror just in case.

Divers lose boat, no pilot left aboard - Florida

 

[Steve_C]

Its a big big ocean and it can change surprisingly quickly some times.

Hey Viper,
I'm up for diving in the spring. I can definitely help with gearing up. No worries with that, we all need help with stuff. If you wanted to go out in the boat with 3 or 4 people, I would happily take my turn staying on the boat.
