Pick 1 and Post 2

Start inhaling (but thanks for a toast for this coming new years party)

stress....go and force relax or drop everything and do nothing?

 

[Hemlon]

Go and force relaxation. I'm sure it has something to do with my profession, but I think BEST when I am stressed.

You are MILDLY underweighted on a dive. Do you get more lead or jack-knife dive below the surface?

 

[Midnight Star]

I used to jack-knife dive, because I liked to be "weighted" at depth, but the 3 minute safety stop was proving to be problematic. Now, I use a little more weight to hold me down: more weight.

Do you wear a hood and gloves when the water temp is in the 60's?

 

[Hemlon]

Historically, just gloves. But I am quickly turning to the hood/glove side. My change of heart is out of desperation as I'm eager to dive despite the weather.

Do you get seasick while boating diving?

 

[Midnight Star]

Oh yes, but not always - it depends on how rough the seas are. I'm ok if I don't really pay much attention to it: if I start concentrating on something, it hits.

Get up early to go fishing, or stay and wait for breakfast?

 

[Hemlon]

Breakfast first...or at least COFFEE!

Diving without current: do you take a safety sausage or not?

 

[Midnight Star]

None, but they'd make a good pelican roost - just watch for "splatter"

There's a big shark coming your way,and your buddy doesnt see it yet ... do you, give the "i'll be right back" signal and swim off, or let them know?

 

[Hemlon]

It would depend on the buddy arrangement. If we were tight buddies, I would alert him/her.

However, most of my dive buddies are as comfortable being solo as I am and our buddy groups are quite loose...more of just an appeasement to the DM. In this case, I would say "See ya!" and go find my shark!

Same ?

 

[Midnight Star]

Me and the shark would start to communicate - I believe it might be possible with the right timing of movements and posturing (silly I know) ... i'd alert my buddy. I mostly dive solo also, with others around. Just how to get their attention at a distance i'm not sure given my current gear.

If the shark is coming too close too quickly to intercept, would you head up to the surface or down to bottom?

 

[Hemlon]

Surface...just in case the shark thinks I look tasty. I would rather be shallow and half-eaten than deep and half-eaten.

Tank banger or use your knife to hit your tank?
