This was the first weekend that I dove at Gilboa. Mike was assisting us in the shop when the call came and he was down to the front like a lightening bolt! I was in one way glad to have the incident happen...hear me out... I am now confident that If something happens at the quarry that the staff is well trained and reacts like a team in an Emergency Room coding a patient. As for the poor diver I hear he will live. As a junior diver, 25 logged dives, I've realized long before this that the need for instruction is paramount to my survival. My instructor has stressed that we plan a dive and dive it. Also it was stressed that we stay within our training! I'm not getting Advanced cert. till i'm comfortable doing all that my OW taught. Some of us like to push the limits because doing what someone has told you you can't exhilerates your ego. Diving is not a place for that and I hope some of the Newbies read this post and the rest like it. Dive a lot get comfortable, then move to the next level! Well that's it for me sorry to rant, but really the incident this weekend was the diver/ instructor; not Mike or Gilboa! Also mike thanks for the great tips on where to dive safely at Gilboa.... if you ask he'll tell you
