Tamas, did you hang a spare sandal at 20ft below the boat. I hear that's a good thing to do.

No, I slung one instead for the remainder of the dive with a hot mix in it.

I bet that was funny as hell. I just wish I knew what it meant.

It's just not as funny if you have to explain it. Sorry, lot's of wine for dinner. Time to stop posting and go to bed.

Tamas:I ripped my sandals walking to the boat once and was forced to step on a pebble......does that count?
are you SURE it wasn't a FLIP FLOP?
I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top,
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.

Way back when, US Divers made hp seats made of phenolic. These were part of the J valve reserve mechanism. One of these phenolic seats popped out of its brass holder and dammed the airflow in a twin tank manifold. Emergency ascent from 80 feet. She got a scare but not much else.
Last year, I jumped in with an empty tank and came back out just as fast. The delrin seat in an OMS valve had popped and was sideways in the poppet. As a result, the tank had slowly bled down.
