    I should have pointed out that before the instructors pulled him out the dutch springs boat had pulled him to shore with the help of the point lookout and a throw bag..looked impressive from my vantage point!!

    Dutch Springs accident 9/16/07

    He was asking what happened after being loaded into the ambulance, haven't heard what his condition was after transport. The hood/wetsuit being too tight was the best guess of the people on the scene,probably cut off his carotid artery and basically choked him out. I was watching through...

    diver dies on the surface

    Had an interesting finding on a routine physical that just goes to show that nothing is a guarantee. At 44 years old and having been an instructor for 10 years my new doctor realized I had never had an EKG. When he saw the results he sent me straight to a cardiologist(offered to admit me if i...

    Bonne Terre Mine

    dove there a few years ago, was worth doing once though i probably wouldnt do it again. (especially after taking my cave training!!!) Their divemasters really had no idea about cave safety and treated it more like an open water dive. I didn't like the fact that they didn't want us to carry back...

    swimthroughs and inherent danger thereof

    This is why the shortest hose i dive with is 5'. I have seen resort divers (in jamaica) go through 100' long swim thru's with no idea of the danger. On that occasion the divemaster waited at the end while my buddy and I had to clear the tunnel, actually dragging divers by the tank valves to get...

    Open Water Certified Seeks Training and Employment

    Look for a shop to work in that has nice instructors (and they will probably pay less than 10 an hour). In our shop anyone working for the shop gets free classes from one of the instructors if they show potential. I know we are training our future competition, but none of us are making a living...

I just take responsibility for communication with him. his main responsibility is to the other diver. Our lost buddy procedure is the same as if a pair had been split. Shallow...

    Three man buddy teams

    On a recent recreational dive in florida my buddy and I were told by the operator to include a third diver in our group. The diver refused saying he had bad experiences as a triple. I explained that I was an instructor and that my method of diving triple was to have the two of them dive as a...
