I try not to waste other people's time. You also might want to take a "nice" pill.
As I said, there's already too much fluff here.

What if we started a troll poll...?
ut:
ut:OK, here's a scenario for you. You're diving on a wall at 35 metres. The bottom is effectively bottomless (300+ metres). You've just arrived at depth and notice a diver (not your buddy) start to act strangely (waving arms as if being attacked by bee's). Then he starts to sink (free fall) and nobody else notices. You're about 10m away.
Do you:
(a) wave goodbye
(b) go get him
(c) chase him until you get to 40m and then stop because you weren't trained to go any deeper
(d) none of the above, please explain.
I'll comment on this and tell you what I did in this (true) scenario in a day or so.

Oh how about an accident report thread?? Something like DAN's but just from the board members. We just had a kid die in a cave over here. In a nut shell, certified on sat. 1st dive w/o instructor sun. went in a cave, brought out the next day.
With all of the new divers that do visit this board, some of the accident reports might help dismiss the, cant happen to me idea.

Feedback is typical of course the one's that are voting agains it have their reasons, but it's interesting considering that it's a categarory that would hopefully promote giving divers methods of preparation or prevention that would keep them alive, since the negative people seem to know it all are against it.
To each is own, I like to share my knowledge not harbor it. If knowledge or an experience I shared on that post saved someone's life, I would be very happy that I could make that contribution, now how American is that? Other countries right now could care less about us living, and they don't want us to be prepared. Remember what happened in 9/11? We will never forget what happened, a lot of people lost their lives that day. I personally don't like to heard about people losing their lives, whether by diving or otherwise. So what exactly is the big deal in getting this going? C'mon let's make this happen.

Every board needs a place like Basic Scuba Discussions. The big dumping ground for amost everything else. This thread is a perfect example. And these what if type threads have been done a dozen times since I've been on the board (and that hasn't been very long.)
It's usually just posted as an individual thread in the Basic Scuba Discussions forum.
