She was obviously not heavily overweighted because she was finning like crazy to keep from floating up.
You question doesn't make any sense and it seems like you're just being arguementitive.
Making any adjustments in my life support system without my permission is tampering!!!
"Sinister intent" is not required to kill me.
Even a well meaning adjustment by someone not familiar with your gear set up, that you are not aware of, could lead to disaster.
Fellow divers are welcome to question, observe or suggest, but no one is welcome alter gear on which my life depends, in any way, outside of a training situation, and then you have my full attention.
Agreed. I actually find a few words sufficient also, in most cases. But I am deadly serious in expecting my gear to remain mine solely to adjust or alter.
So if you wre having some kind of equipment-related problem you could not correct that was putting you in danger, you would resent it if someone came over and helped?
