LOL - My first PSD dives with my FD were my first dives in Absolute Zero Viz(as in black water, can't see, don't bother bringing a light as you can't see it (the light) unless you put it against your mask with the beam shining toward your eyeballs), cold water, an unfamiliar, too big for me, viking drysuit with bulky undergarment, in a BC and gear configuration much different than my recreational gear, including a full face mask, harness and pony bottle. And following the directions of the tender via rope tug signals, I was supposed to keepsufficient tension on the line and search for a caribeaner in mud a foot deep. Oh - and the entanglement hazards included monofilament line, gillnets and no-one knows what else.... though there were jagged metal things, there was no kelp and no ice.... at least not until later. But hey.... at least we had good surface supportalcina:Of course. Everyone is different. If you are going to dive in low viz and don't think you will be comfy at first, if at all, make sure you try it out with good support and in an environment where that is the primary hazard - you don't want to go low viz, under the ice, in a new dry suit, with a heavy current in a kelp forrest next to a jagged metal wreck, for instance![]()
