Well, humm... Welcome to ScubaBoard. I noticed your profile says you're not certified yet. Are you planning on getting certified to scuba dive? It might prove safer for you than 30' drops into water.

I also noticed that your interests are "drinkin and smokin". Any correlation with your recent injury??

Well, humm... your profile indicates you're not certified either.

What did you do, a giant stride off a cruise ship? Incorrect facial angulation, does that mean you dove in face first with a mask on?

Most of us do giant strides (feet first) from about 6 ft or so at the "most" depending on the boat. Back rolls are done from much closer...

Perhaps he meant he just dove from 30' into water, no gear, no mask, just dove (maybe from a cliff, or dock or some other structure). I have never been on a dive boat where it was a 30' drop.

I think its a pretty good intro...

Did the shock of the impact make you... "Spew"?

Were you diving into the Yaak?

If I understand it correctly ? he had his head at the incorrect angle apon hitting the water from 30' , causing the black eye

and "drinkin and smokin" was a contributing factor as well I bet
