Poor diving techniques I noticed during this week's trip.

[caruso]

As you surface, even with a buoy, get vertical and do a 760 degree sweep

760? That's one heck of a circle.

 

[Ana]

760? That's one heck of a circle.

Over 2 revolutions yes... I'd suggest a +760, quickly followed by a -360 and be ready to get on with the next step.

 

[Storker]

760? That's one heck of a circle.

Two full circles, in fact.

 

[caruso]

Two full circles, in fact.

2 full circles would be 720.

Anyway why do 2 circles? You going to miss a boat coming right at you the first time around?

 

[Storker]

why do 2 circles?

I have no idea.

 

[caruso]

I have no idea.

Maybe one circle clockwise and one counterclockwise to unspin yourself and not be dizzy.

 

[The Chairman]

I meant 720: mea culpa. Though, it might be more like a 760 when I am done.

I do a quick circle just as I start up and a much slower one during the ascent. But I listen. I listen hard.

 

[Zef]

You made a claim that it was "bad". I've simply asked you for a citation that shows it to be dangerous or problematic. Maybe a case history of someone getting bent while doing this...

In Miami, nothing will stop them from running you over.

Which is why I avoid offshore dive trips during major holidays.
