I do a lot of stupid things underwater, myself.. leaving the group 5 minutes into the dive at 120 feet and look for sharks alone, do safety stop alone, get on wrong boat alone.. twice... My best one was probably a day after I got COMPLETELY blitzed the night before because my girlified cheated on me.. I remember being somewhat plowed and telling the bartender to put "a little bit of everything" into a large glass.. and he did - he poured a little of every bottle on the shelf..

I was HAMMERED.. I almost fell off the balcony of my room.. So, 7am dive, I was there, still drunk, hangover setting in.. I figure I'll be ok when I hit the water.. I hit the water, go down immediately to 80 feet.. check my gauges - forgot to turn the computer on.. you hafta surface to turn the computer on.. it won't let you turn it on at depth because everything would be off, compression-wise..

So, I said screw it and stayed close to somebody.. Keep in mind with the computer off, I had NO air psi gauge, so never knew how much air I had in the tank for an hour dive.. not real smart..



Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..

  Scariest situation on a dive for me..

sstrams81July 26, 2023 04:48AM

  That's a SICK SICK feeling when you suck for air and it's just not there. 1987..

ferragamo7966July 27, 2023 07:21AM

  When I was about 10, I could go 2 minutes plus.

Ramgator59July 30, 2023 01:35PM
