Serious diving in California waters...

[NETim]

Thanks for posting this Mike. I was... WAS... planning a tour of the West Coast sometime in the near future.

Not so sure now.

The video is a repost but still a funny one.

Dude! Solo diving just ain't DIR !!!!

Thank goodness he isn't DIR. Can you imagine if he didn't have split fins and used a frog kick :shocked2:

No weight belt. Ahhh, the pleasures of being perfectly weighed.

Look again. He has weight pockets on his BP/W and they are saggy so they probably have some weight in them. Notice his SMB is not in a pocket? Although with a steel tank and a stainless plate one should really not need any weight.

One of our local crew did his hundredth dive in Catalina and said he made it 15 minutes without a drysuit nor wetsuit on.

Speedo dude swims with his hands too much...."special fins" as Bob Sherwood calls them.

Very funny vid. I was captivated and revulsed at the same time! Congratulations to everybody involved. Very amusing. It must have been chilly!!

(Did he have his DUI weight harness clipped into his shoulder straps? I've never seen that before)

Thanks Mike!

Here's PROOF that I'm not crazy when I consider my Catalina trips my warm water travel.

Mike.

That guy was on Methamphetamine, and he died from Hypothermia 30 seconds after he exited the water

Hey, but you have to admit his bouyancy isn't 1/2 bad - even when he strikes that pose - well sometimes !
