Glad you didn't end up fish food. Although the lobsters would have eaten more of you than the fish.

Steel tank?

That's why I dive a dual-bladder redundant backplate/wing set-up when I'm diving steel. If I lose inflation with doubled hp steel 120's my ass is going to be a dirt-dart.

I have AL doubles, but I like steel better. When I do shallow stuff around here (Islamorada) I usually just use an AL80 or a HP-93.

hey... give me a call next time you go diving... I'll give you my SSN and you can just leave everything with me... just incase!


j/p... glad you made it out alright... I've always wanted to go diving... if I make it down to MS I'm definatly looking into it!

I'm using an HP-93 too. I've never experienced this sort of malfunction before so that partially freaked me out because I couldn't figure out what was wrong until much later. But realistically speaking, after talking with my shop guy (40-years of diving experience/instructor/master diver), he said I could have snorkeled back to the boat because the swim itself could have kept me afloat.

Probably. It's funny how rational, smart people sometimes miss stuff like that. In EVERY rescue I've ever done the first thing I do is inflate the divers BCD, 99% of the time they have forgotten to, obviously not the case with you, but it still surprises me how often it happens.

Oh yeah, I'd make her walk funny.

Wow, I'm so glad you're not dead!! Good job not completely freaking the fuck out!!

LOVE the bright colors, it must be an Italian thing to be that much of an attention whore... when will you be in Texas again? LOL

[fnfalman]

Sorry, no more pics of the meaty blondie. I'm trying to work on that, if ya know what I mean.

Azoom, I don't know when I'll be in Texas again, but if I were to ever be in the San Antone area, I'd definitely give you a holler.
