We talk about diving a lot at work. Its a great way to pass the time when we can't dive. Here is a hypothetical that came up a while back.
A diver surfaces to find his boat is long gone. Faced with drifting away in the current he takes all his accessible weights (10-15 lbs) and fastens them to the end of a 100' line on a finger spool. He then pays out the line until it rest in the sand below and waits to be rescued.
Would this work? How much weight would it take to hold a diver in place?
Just curious.
