Survival Kit for Basic Divers on SB

If you don't you an HID can light, all dives will be zero vis.

This one's not true?

If your buddy is a photographer, and you run out of air, you are doomed.

This can be combined with another...

If you don't have x* amount of dives, why are you even thinking about using a camera underwater

*x is alway 100+ the number of dives you currently have completed

Now, we are ready for a Basic Scuba Discussion question from a true Basic Scuba Diver... waiting...
(similar to the drysuit question asked earlier)

Which split fins should I buy to go with my double LP 120's and OMS Bungied Wing?

I said a real question from a real diver. You know... The ones who don't have to look for shopping carts at the bottom?

Not to mention the above question would honestly get you knifed on some parts of this board

• You cant be a fisherman and a diver
• If you own a camera, you have to have over 2,000 dives before you can get it wet or you will be public enemy #1
• And there has to be a rule about beer

and diving...

True story.... my hand to Deepstops.... guy shows up w/ OMS bungied wing, split fins, wetsuit and borrowed dbl 95's for his first dive in them 20 miles off shore in the Gulf...

He jumps in, swims to the anchor line and starts descent... he had his bungied dbl wing all cinched down for diving on single tanks and didn't let any slack out... went to inflate and pop.... the elbow totally pulls out of the wing... His buddy, waves him off and continues his dive to 110' as he grabs the anchor line and hauls himself to the surface as he's seriously overweighted. He reaches the ladder huffing and puffing like he just swam in Indy 500 and says 'guys need a little help here' and we all jump to get him onboard....

Two comments overheard...... I **** you not....
"guess I'm going to need to get that dbl bladder wing"

And... because we're on site for 6 hours and 3 dives....
B - "how about you borrow my BP/w and go do your dive"
J - "I don't like to borrow other peoples gear"
C - "well - his gear is guaranteed not to kill you...."

Dry suit? Pee valve? I thought the idea was to pee in your wetsuit for warmth... and that oh so refreshing aroma

Common method used to convert your dry suit into an instant wet suit!

Any computer that is not air integrated is junk! Weight belts are for losers?
Always ask open ended questions like :which is better a BCD or a wing, Or why should I log dives, Or should I use a snorkel or not? Your threads will grow exponentially!
