    10/09/04 accident at Monastery Beach (Carmel) aka ...

    Probably a good thread on it's own....God knows I could use a little advice on that now and again myself. Some days I'm good at it...other days I should've gotten a bigger tank :05:

    Unless you want to drown while the surge drags you back and forth & unless it is completely calm, I would say keep your BC with at least SOME air. The way the waves and surge can blow and relocate your bottom all over the place, I wouldn't want to be fully deflated. I think Phlee may...

    10/09/04 accident at Monastery Beach (Carmel) aka ...

    I recently talked to a guy who is in touch with this woman's husband. She is still in the hospital and is not even talking. Her condition has made very little improvement. She also picked up some sort of infection. I was really shocked to learn this. I was of the understooding that...

    10/09/04 accident at Monastery Beach (Carmel) aka ...

    And that was basically my point too. It's not necessarily that having a certification makes you able to handle Monastery. Point being was that you have something that one can see as to a diver's desire to continue education and getting their skills improved. After all, certifications are...

    10/09/04 accident at Monastery Beach (Carmel) aka ...

    ....although you cannot do compressions in the water, you can do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in the water, which is what this diver did. My apologies for not being exact with my wording, it was quicker to type CPR than "mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in the water" (SSI Diver Stress & Rescue...

    10/09/04 accident at Monastery Beach (Carmel) aka ...

    Yea, I love diving Monastery too. But you really can be deceived at that beach. Training is a definite must. I got a new update today saying that she hasn't regained consciousness. I hope they got the wrong person. Dunno tho, that is a really bad way to go down, falling on your back and...

    Should I have done something different?

    ...You didn't panic, you assessed, you acted, not just REACTED, and you did damn well!! You know it's funny, I was diving with someone who was supposed to be my buddy and was notoriously left. I got told I should've gotten their attention before stopping to look at something (which...

    ...mortuary beach.... http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/montereyherald/news/9884770.htm Reality hits home once again. I know this chic and the guys who helped rescue her, her dive buddies. You really gotta be careful diving at Monastery. Great place to get humbled, tossed around, and...

    Monterey Conditions in October

    Hey Spidershim, Monterey is a great place to dive. The harbor seals have come right up to me and played, putting their snout against my head and passing right under my hands where I could touch them. I've had the same experience with the Sea Lions--not very friendly, but somewhat curious if...

    How to qualify as a Tech diver?

    WOW! That's a whole lot from everyone. I am glad I at least have a better understanding...I think :06: I originally thought that tech diving was the same as commercial diving, as in you're doing TECHNICAL diving with equipment or to accomplish a goal, ie. hull treatment/cleaning...

    new to board

    Welcome back to diving and welcome to SB. I had a 3 year hiatus from diving due to a car accident but it wasn't on the way back from diving. It was on the way back to office from a server room in Sunnyvale (silicon valley). It's like being reborn to be able to dive again. Take care and...
