Uncontrolled ascent - almost what to do?

[phoenix31tt]

Honestly...

to much missing information to blame buddies or instructor...

1. His previous dive's he was not light, assuming he used up at least half his gas on previous dives then what is the buoyancy swing between 1/2 tank and 1/8 tank?
2. having done dives before he could've very easily done a weight check at the end of the dive (more accurate anyways, even if the tank isn't empty), you don't need anybody to do that and it takes you but 20 secs to determine if you need a little more weight...
3. As we've said before basic breathing should be able to compensate for that

between all the posts here we've already addressed "what to do in an uncontrolled ascent".

There seems to be more learning that can be achieved by the OP if he would like it but... doesn't seem that way

Which difference does it make if is a PADI/SSI/CMAS course?

doesn't matter the organization... it matters the course...

None. But it makes a BIG difference what LEVEL course it was. PADI OW or AOW? SSI OW or Advanced? CMAS one star or two star? Etc.

Oohh so you are saying if is level 1 your are allowed to make mistakes, but if your are "high" level 2 you are not? Or what do you mean? :/

What course were you taking when you had a dive to 98 feet? That is my question. It has nothing to do with making mistakes or not.

You said this earlier

Sure but I was not expected to me a high quality diver. This is a basis course...

We're trying to figure out why you were at 98 ft in a basis [sic] course. It may just be the language barrier, but it seems like your instructor is not up to par.

Not much. There are some bad instructors with all the big agencies. Many really good instructors too, but once you get above a certain size the instructor QC can't be as strong as they would like.

Learn this phrase by heart: "Guys, I need to do a weight check."

It has always worked for me. Anyone who says "screw that, we don't have time", isn't someone you should be diving with.

Yep,well said.

If the weighting was correct for the first dives, and you became buoyant beyond control on the second check your low pressure inflators. There may be a slight leak with the BC or Drysuit. Dumping from valves will help, but disconnect if you have to. You may have been task loaded and not noticed a small leak in the system.

If out of control, keep dumping and kick down to slow rate.

Did you ever try dumping and kicking down in a dry suit?
