@Dorian Jeffrey It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D

Here is a tip I got from one of the best divers I ever met: “Read about diving accidents. This gives you the ability to recognize bad situations. When you recognize a bad situation, you can say ‘I read about something like this and it did not turn out well.’” Break the chain of causation. If that means ending the dive, there are other dives. 👌🏼

I was supposed to go diving today with a buddy. It's been ages (almost a month) since I've been on a fun dive. When I woke up, I had a sore throat and a stuffy head. I got in touch with my buddy and canceled my part of the dive. He still went as he was fine and had others in the group. I'm still bummed but safety first. I can dive another day.

I'm only aged of 85 dives. Never had a problem myself, but twice very experienced divers (more than 500 dives) did very stupid things: A photographer once paddled away leaving me behind and finished his dive alone without a care in the world, and another older experienced guy inflated his parachute at a depth of 22 meters, when he had only 8 meters of string attached to it. Seeing him rocket to the surface was not great. If we weren't in the safety curve that would have been an accident. My opinion is: never trust an experienced diver blindly just because he's got more dives than you, he may have more dives than anyone on the boat but he may be a dangerous lucky guy. In general, never trust any diver you haven't already dived a few times with.

I've seen several incidents with incredibly experienced divers. Their interest was spearfishing and would overweight themselves, empty their BCD and their lungs before rolling off the boat in an attempt to get down quickly and the technique worked but its probably best to open the air valve on the tank first. Running out of air completely was common too and I admit I did it twice, an interesting experience.

Rule number one. NEVER TRUST ANYONE. ONLY RELY ON YOUR OWN EYES TO VERIFY EVERYTHING. ALWAYS QUESTION EVERYTHING

I started my cave diver training and one of the tasks we have to do is finding our cave reel line in total darkness. Let's just say that it takes a while to find it. By the time that I found my line, done my safety stop and surfaced my tank was running real low. It's the lowest I've ever surfaced with ( 512 psi ) my buddy surfaced with some where in the (400 psi ) range. So please please please don't go into a cave dive environment without proper training. Thank God for cave diving instructors.

Very good job. I failed to monitor my gages during a deep dive. Didn't realize I was low on air till we finished skills. Ran out on the way back and ended up having to buddy breath the rest of the way. Had an awesome dive master who handled everything flawlessly.

Went out with a new buddy off the boat, both had the same amount of dives, both on 15l cylinders so thought all would be well. Checked air after 10 minutes, he was on 90 bar! Used over 100bar in that time. No leaks so aborted the dive. Back on the boat turned out all his dives had been in lakes, never in the sea and it appears to have freaked him out. Moral of the story, not just the number of dives but what kind are really important when diving with someone new to you

jimgam730 I spent a week in Bonaire, so many great dives for everyone! My favorite was Oil Slick and Bari Reef

On my first ever dive after getting my OW certificate. I was in a group with 3 AOW and a DM. The plan was to go 18m deep for around 35mins. The instructor also said that once someone gets down to 100bar we should start getting back (had 200 in total). Everything was going fine until 10-15mins in i check my SPG and it was at 100 bar. I signal to the DM how much air i have and he said Ok. Everyone else had more air than me because they were way more experineced. We started getting back to the boat. About half way there I was down to 40bar and then 30, 20, 10. I kept signaling to the instructor that im low on air. At 10-20bar he let me breathe from his air. It was the worst experience possible for a new diver like me. Somehow i kept my sanity and didnt panic.

Awesome info, safe diving is fun diving !!

I was a PADI rescue diver for many years and have seen a couple of accidents, but most I saw deadly were folks doing cave diving without proper training.

Love Your Videos, i had a chunk of Fire Coral land on the back of neck years ago, knocked loose by my first stage gear, yes pain is intense and irritation lasted for over a month, Im far more aware now of staying away from hazards...

Just came back from sharm, saw two divers going 4m below me on air in the same group I was (I was on nitrox 32), one had a dive computer, the other didn't. When the dive guide swam down from 20m to beckon them up his computer showed 2mins no stop. When they got to the surface the guy with the computer asked one of the local tec shop owners why his computer was throwing a fit.

Thanks for posting! I really like all your videos and watch them all. I dove when I was a kid, but now I'm 65 and have a heart issue so diving is a bad idea. I want to dive so bad at least once but my cardiologist says no. %$@$&^R@!!!!!! LOL. But I still like watching your videos. I do remember a couple of times when my dad and I had situations diving. Safety ALWAYS comes first. I think one of the most important point you made is staying close to your buddy. Like you said if your far away and have an issue your in trouble. Thanks again!

I had a secondary start free flowing at 25 ft. No big deal I surfaced and swam to shore. Only problem in 30 years of diving.

Very well stated. Thanks!

"Sharks aren't out to get you" Uhm sorry to correct you on that, but I've seen "Sharknado" and they definitely are!

Just got back from Kona where I had some amazing dives and saw all 4 species of dolphins (3 in one day) as well as a variety of sharks and even a few big mantas....... that said I hadn’t been on a dive in 4 years and didn’t get a refresh on anything before going. I let the guides know that and so they ran me through the basics. But I still forgot my 3 min safety stop coming back up from 86 feet. Yes I know more than I should go on an open water cert. but yea great week on Kona. Had some really deep awesome dives and all is well.

The two common ones I have been told: 1) Switching to the wrong gas (or not checking nitrox with tester before diving) 2) Using a dual bladder BCD, it got tangled inside a diver's BCD so during the ascent trapped air couldn't be released, if other divers were not there to help counter buoyancy and pull the diver down he would have missed all the deco stops.

MY last equipment malfunction was in miami off Key Biscayne - my secondary would purge air every time it turned past 90 degrees from straight down (surfaced about 10 mins early). Same trip, next dive, my mom's guide gave her the wrong weight belt. I spent a lot of energy and air trying to pull her down. Once I realized her PAID personal guide wasn't going to help her, I pushed her to the bottom of the Neptune memorial and had to give her one of my weights, and breathe shallow to keep buoyancy ....I am not an avid diver either (~1-2 times/yr), so I'm pretty sure those aren't bad, but they were to me, Haha

Hey Mark, Shaun, How are you guys? I love all your videos, reality interlaced with a little humor." Great Stuff". I would like to add a comment to the new divers watching these videos. "CESA" is an emergency accent and should only be used in an emergency as this can be dangerous in itself. When we are trained, we learn to never dive without a buddy " Very good advice" We are also trained to share air with our buddies in an out of air situation and we practice this till we get it right. But don't let yourself get tunnel vision. What I mean is that we are trained to depend on our buddies to share air should we need it, and if your buddy can't be reached in time we do a CESA. In these situations it is easy to Panic, and Panic will hurt you.So always stay in control of your situation we are trained and the methods we use work. So remain calm and think, just because we can't locate our buddy or get to him in time, if there is another diver close by do not hesitate to obtain his or her safe second. Buddy or not I am sure any diver will gladly share their air, and only as a last resort use CESA.

I normally get to my dive destination and do a beach dive to check the gear in shallow water, confirm all settings and adjustments, just in case it’s been some months (or some pounds) since my last dive. On one of my trips we arrived on the island and bumped into some old friends we hadn’t seen in a few years. Since the next day was their last day diving before the end of their trip, we skipped our normal routine for the opportunity to dive on the boats with them before they split town. They wanted to dive a deep section of the drop off on their last day, which turned out to be spectacular, but as we ascended to 85 feet I started having trouble staying down; as the pressure dwindled in my aluminum tank it was becoming positively buoyant and, because I didn’t do my beach dive, I had miscalculated my lead requirements by a few pounds. Also, new airline requirements meant that, for the first time, I had been stopped at screening for having my dive knife in my carry-on with the rest of my gear, and they made me run back and add it to my checked bag. I forgot to unpack it (something I would have realized on my beach dive) and I now had nothing to bang on my tank with to let the group below me know I was drifting skyward. I was at about 65 feet, contorting to try to purge any trapped air in my bc, and kicking like crazy to stay down, while my friends were cruising around nearly twenty feet below me. All my thrashing was burning up my air and I had yet to do my required decompression. I also realized, if was having trouble keeping depth at 80 feet, it was going to be impossible to maintain a deco stop at 30 feet. I crossed my fingers and kicked as hard as I could down to the group and gestured to explain my issue. The dive master pulled out an extra 2 lb weight, which I gladly accepted, and I waved bye to everyone as I ascended to do my stops before I didn’t have enough air to complete them. I’ve been diving a long, long time. I’ve seen divers get bent, run out of air, even a fall on slippery rocks that resulted in a compound fracture. I made a boneheaded move that day but lucked out. Changing up a routine can get you in trouble.

Immediately noticed the same thing.

In a fun dive I saw my guide (a divemaster) get stuck with the SMB while inflating it. He got pulled from 10m to the surface in 3 seconds. I was really worried but the guy just laughed at it. Now I can't trust anyone I don't know underwater.

My first time in the water with dive gear we found a dead diver in a little over 5' of water. Not over his head, had air and his mask was still on. Found out he was in his 70's. Health issue for sure. I'm cave trained and was in a cave with 3 80's. The regulator on the stage tank was loose at the hose and was free flowing. No problem. Open it, breath in close, open it breath in close and so on. Then staged it where I had planed and continued the dive. Also this is one reason I love side mount. I have complete access to my tanks. I've had a regulator free flow just a little in open in some open water dives and did the dive normally opening the valve when I needed a breath. In all these cases I had at least 2 tanks. I never had a situation where I felt panic. I was in a low ceiling situation in a cave and struggled for a good 10 minutes to get through. seemed like forever. No panic but it sucked. I readjusted how I connect my tanks to the BCD as the other 2 guys glided through there. I am a little bigger than then they are.

Liked. I encountered a Cabazon protecting eggs in the Pacific Northwest... At 3' it was a glorious creature, buddy encroached a bit to closely causing Cabazon to charge him directly towards his mask... Suffice to say he panicked - He lost his primary for a few seconds. Fortunately i was on his hip and swam in front of him, when confronted by me it backed down and retreated. I turned to buddy who was just recovering his primary. Spent a few seconds with eye to eye making sure he was ok. Some creatures just don't react the way you think. This was an open sand bottom, with a tangle of cable to protect the eggs.

Yep first 2:43 info so true good advice and great video. High pressure gauge blows off hose at (luckily) only 10 or so metres big crack heard, turn to see buddy behind a curtain of air LOL, looking bemused! I tie knot as best I can in her hp hose, slows down but doesn't stop the air (of course), she can still breath properly, calm ascent to surface. Narced diver refuses to surface at about 24 m and keeps signalling all is ok and continues to swim away from everyone, refusing to surface when the time comes, third diver assists me and we bring that diver to the deco stop-protesting. Lots of yelling (yuck that was me, very angry at them) and lots of tears from them! Last but not least, waiting in open ocean for the boat to appear (for almost 40 minutes in rough seas) to pick everyone up, boat no where to be seen, bronze whaler circling underneath appearing v shitty, two divers start to panic, me and my buddy try to keep the other two calm, boat eventually arrives for a very silent ride back LOL. I guess if anyone dives enough and for long enough, they are going to find that, plan your dive and dive your plan may not go exactly according to plan LOL! Common sense is V important in diving and staying alive to tell any stories, even if they are just about the fish you see!

does diving with two tanks increase your no decompression time or does it only increase your bottom time, versus one tank, same gas mix, similar dive profiles.

To add on, the second tank is actually an additional amount of deco due to increased bottom time, allowing for more nitrogen buildup.

Very wise advice at 6:26, that's why I (sadly) decided not to return to diving after a very very long gap.

I'll try to detail dive incidents that caused an abort which I've been involved with directly. I'll list from most common to least. Forgetting or losing gear like forgetting weights or losing mask or fins in the surf. That ends a dive day quick. BCD malfunctions either automatically inflating from a leaky valve or a leak in the bladder like a loose connection that has nearly caused several drownings in the panic. Sea life injury like those pesky titans and their nests or that fire coral. Everything underwater either bites or is toxic. Out of air surprisingly common and sometimes coupled with a deco obligation. Sometimes a share, sometimes a bolt to the surface, sometimes forgot to turn air on. Even seen a double out of air where the first ran out of air, went to a DM and they both then ran out. I hauled the DM on to the boat as he was coughing up water. Lost diver. Truly a sickening feeling in my stomach when someone is missing. The thought of making that call. Some people I dive with regularly over the last few decades I'm not to concerned if we get separated but when a new diver goes AWOL it's bad. Usually it's someone who bolts without paying attention to the others. However I lost one of my kids by backrolling in while sitting across from each other. Bad current and low vis meant we were instantly out of sight. He went with others as I frantically looked above and below. After about 5 min the boat pointed me to bubbles and I followed them down. Technically I was the lost diver there, lol. The only thing worse than this is dead diver recovery. It's a nightmare and poor judgement is always at play.

Dive 14, AOW Deep: me + a married couple as students. At the end of the skills at depth the other guy was critically low on air. The instructor buddied the wife with me so the instructor could share air. We couldn't follow the arc of the reef back to the mooring block. The instructor set a compass heading and we started up while moving in the general direction of the boat. Learned quickly how hard a safety stop is with no reference but my computer. Ended up getting a tow back by the tender. I think I took everything a bit more serious after that.

I was on holiday and did not have much experience in diving. I did not own any equipment yet, so I rented all of it at the dive centre. When getting ready on the boat I noticed that my weight belt did not lock as tight as it should, but I trusted the equipment was alright, for I got it from the dive centre. Long story short, the weight belt slipped open in the middle of the dive and my buddy did not notice anything until I was at the surface already. Luckily it was a check dive and we were only about 20 metres deep. Also the dive guide realized what happened immediately and took me back down. Took me few hours too fully understand what could have happened there.

New diver's that still haven't figured out that if they have kick to stay down they probably should deflate their BCD. Then the same diver don't know about the valve on the lower back and a small ascent means they get in a panicked, lost fight against boyancy that ends in an uncontrolled ascent.

My closest call was a leaking drysuit inflator. We were doing a shipwreck at 100'. When I got down, I had to adjust my suit to stop the dump valve from digging into my arm. I drained the BC, then added air to the suit to move the valve. I then drained the suit, and added 2 squirts of air, to get the suit back to normal. I then added air back to the BC to get neutral. As the dive progressed, I found that I had to adjust buoyancy a couple of times, but seemed to have full control with the BC. At max bottom time, we left for the surface. At 80' is when I noticed the problem, I tried to slow down with the BC. NO CONTROL! I gave the BC a squirt and drained it to see if the hose was blocked. I then went for the shoulder dump. Still nothing. I did the best I could to flare and try to slow down. As I was headed up fast, I couldn't breathe, as the air was expanding faster than I could inhale. I then noticed that my head was being pushed back by my drysuit. I then hit the dump valve on my arm. Stopped at last! Depth 10 feet! Did a 10/10 stop. Next dive was max 30' and began to have a headache at depth. It got worse at the end of the dive. I really became worried that I got bent from the rapid ascent. I just kept going. That night we were doing a night dive. Still had the headache. Went down to the bottom at 12' and equalized. The headache instantly cleared! Sinus squeeze!

I managed to piss off the titan trigger fish with the largest known territory on the Great Barrier Reef 😕 … ouch

The only real emergency I've been involved in so far was for a drift dive where me and my buddy got dropped off too far from the reef, and our swim against the current got my buddy hit hard with CO2 narcosis(yeah that's not your usual nitrogen narcosis), and we had to abort that dive, as she was simply brain fogged out of it. I managed to avoid being as narced by going deeper, under the current, than she did. Dive aborted 10 minutes in, and I had to descend back down to her because the DM left her behind, and I'd drifted away in the current when I signaled the abort(several knots of current). I had to keep physical contact with her all the way up to guide her to the surface safely. No emergency services needed as she recovered at the surface, breathing atmospheric pressure air. I've been in a few equipment malfunction situations as well, but nothing major, broken valve stem on stage bottle, figured out at the surface and replaced before descending, that sort of thing.

My first dive.... pressure gauge was wrongly indicated pressure ... indicated 50 bar ... I had 0 bars :P

If you are someone who panics and cannot control your miind to think straight in a panic situation DO NOT TAKE UP SCUBA DIVING. Not panicing is like being the worlds best MMA fighter in a bar fight whilst scuba diving. You will be ok if you can control the situation.

If you are on a guided dive, do not depend on the judgment of the dive master guiding the dive. I was on a dive in Roatan where all 15 of us reported our air pressure to the dive master at 70 feet. Some divers were pretty low: 900 psi or so. The dive master continued the dive for another 5-10 minutes. By the time we finished the dive and got done with our safety stops, one diver was literally out of air. Many others were low. Obviously, that is largely their fault. But it was also the dive master’s fault. The dive master should have ended that dive 10 minutes before he did: he should have ended it when he learned he had divers who had 900 psi. If he did not do it, I should have gotten myself and my buddy up anyway. For the record, I finished with 700 psi. My buddy finished with 1100 psi. She is small and has gills.

For me, It highlighted the dangers of a stressful situation and the 'incident pit', afterwards when thinking about the situation you realise all that needed to be done was to take the belt from around the bottom of his legs and have him hold it in his arms and do a controlled accent with a buddy but because of a panicked situation (people were trying to get the belt back around his waist for around five minutes) he decided to accent because he was scared, stressed and panicked. I wasn't that experienced at the time and wasn't his buddy but you learn from those lessons and by reading other people's experiences.

Yggdrasil42 these are reasons why I prefer integrated weights, I can ditch a couple without shooting up at a million miles an hour. You do make a good point though about padi weighting, didn’t even learn how to correctly do it until my advanced class

Diving with a belt (or weight system), even without lead on it, and practicing its removal should be well rehearsed, because very many divers carry weight and everyone should know how to handle it in a rescue. In almost all cases, however, ditching should happen only after returning to the surface. Ditching underwater, even partially, is asking for trouble.

I’ve. Never been Diving but to me it looks easier than it actually is

One of the things gone wrong is misspelling judgment.

What animals sre at 7.05? snails? Thanks!

I was diving with my boyfriend and for some reason his dive computer stopped working so we couldn't tell how much air he had left we came up and he had only 300 psi left...

Hey! Some pieces of advice: 1) you should always have a backup spg if you're using a transmitter, 2) you should be frequently checking your air and be able to estimate your air supply at a moment's notice, and 3) as soon as your computer fails an immediate but safe ascent is recommended. I'm not sure what went wrong here, but I'm glad you and your boyfriend are safe, and hope you are safe in the future.

I have plenty of stories to share. I have too many stories to share. Poor judgment of my own. Poor materials. Unknown reasons. From great stories to tell up to a decotank (unknown reason). Still. Can’t wait to start my full Cave next month. Every incident made me a better diver. You learn from your mistakes. And you learn from GUE to use your mind 😉

i want to be a marine biologist and scuba dive but i’m deathly afraid of drowning, and not knowing what to do.

Sharks are out to get you. They are predators therefore anything they believe they can eat, they'll have a go at it. Take the tiger shark for example. It sees you and that's it in most cases. Island boy 🙋‍♂️

Why are ppl having heart attack under water ? How common is heart attack under water ?

Stories are fine, but i find the best thing you can do to stay safe is to ask yourself "what could go wrong"? And then plan for that event beforehand. I do that every day in my head. For fun. And when im in the water, we always practice one or two of these scenarios. This has changed my diving completely. Im so relaxed now because there isnt much that could go wrong and im not feeling chill with it. Prevention through anticipation and practice.

Working my mining claim under about 15foot winching a boulder which operator was on the surface the cable cut White Glove started sucking my hand in it just barely got my hand out of the glove

went on a dive couple yrs ago and guide was showing lion fish in a small overhang and we all OK he swam off and as we all pasted the spot young Italian girl( on her first dive since getting open water ) and fist pair after guide was trying to swim down and touch it (i say swim down as she was like a balloon hanging onto her boyfriends arm the whole dive or a lead weight) i am no expert with only 30+ dives and advanced open but me my buddy and a master open water diver had to 1 get her away from stroking the lion fish 2 help get her back up to level of her buddy or 3 stop her just popping up to the surface from 12mtres and all in the first 5 mins into the dive my buddy pair and master buddy pair all stayed close to her and her boyfriend for rest of dive. the guide just swam about looking round every so often not really getting why we were all so closely bunched.second dive those 2 went on a dive with 2 guides and 2 pairs of newbies after we expressed our worries turns out our guide was told we were all same level.second dive was great though lol

I have 15 dives I nearly lost my life I was very lucky that I couldn’t compensate and I didn’t go down to 30 metres because If I did I wouldn’t have surfaced alive as my air ran out even though I had 2000 in my gouge luckily I was at 5 metres below I should have sued the company as they said they didn’t know how this could have happened obviously gear fault

Well, I don’t have much to add to this comment section other than my only diving “horror” story, so the story begins in Newport RI USA I was out on a dive with the instructor that had certified me 1 year prior and one of his ex-navy seal friends, we had seen some cool stuff but we got caught in a weak current (I feel like this is the time to say that the former seal had some bad PTSD) and I was slightly ahead of them when we got out of the weak current so I didn’t know that the navy seal had a full on panic attack from the ptsd, so I hear this horrible noise and I turn back to see 5 feet away the seal vomiting without his reg in, he ended up inhaling some water so we got him to the surface, luckily he was fine

I struggle with your remark about reporting things I might /think/ as truth. I'd agree with you if you used the words /believe/, or /opinion/. Distilling opinion for fact using discussion has always been a solid foundation for science, if not /the/ solid foundation for science, and replacing it with one persons' opinion since they were present and saw it first hand doesn't necessarily make it the correct interpretation, unless you are a very special little boy of course.

lol strokes...

Someone has to be blunt and tell it like it is. No room for PCness and “Snowflakes” here. Preach son....LOL

Ran into a couple of guys down in Florida who wanted me to go cave diving with them, but neither of them were at all trained in cave diving and neither was I. They were all turned on to the idea and if they went they undoubtedly pushed the envelope every second of the dive. There is way too much of this. I personally would not be able to enjoy any dive where there is a solid ceiling over my head, whether it be cave or shipwreck structure. No thanks.

If something started to go into your lungs you would naturally cough, if you feel that's happening just cough! Good and hard. That should clear your throat and you'll be able to breathe in again normally. You'll only drown if you remove the regulator and breathe in... Very difficult because you'll trigger the cough reflex!!

I just got back from Bahamas and it was only my 3rd dive and first in open water. My tank started emptying and I started floating up away from my buddy and group. I fought to swim back down for 5 mins until I reached the surface struggling to breath. I had a panic attack and my muscles stopped working. I was terrified and traumatized. I was alone on the surface and couldn’t hear captain of the boat. Got a cramp in my leg. I thought for a second this was it. I called my instructor when I got back and he explained what I did wrong. I have no idea how I made to the boat but I threw up a lot when I got on the boat and just fell asleep for 30 mins. I couldn’t do the 2nd dive with them. My body was done. I’m traumatized but I’m gonna dive again soon. I just need a therapist for now :(

Ever blow up your drysuits?

On a activity i fergat to sip me drysout and i wes sinking fast . God ting i who sent very deep . Me body help me by polling me

Hello Simplyscuba and readers. Wanted to discuss something as quickly as possible. I am not a trained diver although I have learned as much as possible on my own. I am a “”HOOKAH DIVER.”” Most of you are probably familiar. I started a year ago. Built my own unit and made sure it was safe for breathing. My unit is run by a 12V deep cycle battery and puts out 8 CFM which is much more than I need. 3 divers could dive off of it. Unlimited air. My only reason for starting was to medal detect underwater. Needless to say I fell in love with diving. I go every chance I get which isn’t a lot. Oh and I am freshwater diving only. Lakes and rivers in Alabama. A bow fisherman dropped a $1,000.oo fishing bow in Lake Guntersville. He took me out and after approximately 30 minutes I found and returned his bow to him. My intentions were to never go below 30’. Most of the time I am in roped off swimming areas. Usually 2’ to10’ deep tops. Another man lost a reel n rod and ask me to dive for it. He wasn’t able to be there to give good reference points so I wasn’t successful. But I figure I went about 35’ deep. That’s what the depth finder said and I could tell it was deep. It was beginning to get dark that low. My breathing hose is 125’ but I will never go that deep. If it is for a good reason I would probably go 40 foot. But like when I went 35’ I would only stay for 2 or 3 minutes and would then surface very slowly. And I only went down 3 times which means I spent less than 10 minutes just below the 1st atmosphere. Safety, safety, safety!! I believe in safety 100%. I know if something went wrong at 35’ like getting choked or whatever I would be finished. If my air had quit I feel certain I could have surfaced without a major problem. I am in the process of getting a small tank to wear that will hold just 5 minutes of air or so for surfacing should my unit quit. I know I should already have one but I will very soon. I do have a depth watch now but no computer. Since I will almost always be above the 1st atmosphere line, which is 33’ I understand, I didn’t think I would need one. Friends I would love to hear what you think about what I am doing and my entire situation. I can only learn from you. I appreciate any and all comments. I totally expect some derogatory remarks but thats ok. Thanks to any of you who took the time to read and comment on this, especially if you are trying to help me. If you have a diving sight please let me know what it is so I can go to it and watch. Take care and GOD bless you all!! Happy and safe diving my friend’s
