I just had a question about what singnalling device's you guys dive with. If you dont why not. The reason I was asking I am a helicopter rescueswimmer with the U.S. Coast Guard and have had the oppurtunity to rescue 2 divers about 2 years ago and being a diver my self had to ask why they had no signalling devices with them. Pretty much they were boat diving in pretty windy conditions about 10 miles off sure and some how they were seperated from the boat. The boat called the C.G. and we were sent out to look for these 2 guys. After searching for about 45 mins we spotted the one guy. (no signalling device) After I picked him up we proceeded to find the other guy about 15 minutes later. We flew them back to sure and went on our way with some thank you's. If it was about 1 hour later it was going to be dark and they had nothing to signal the helo with. So do you guys dive with anything special. Being a diver myself my bc looks more like a survival vest then a bcd. Thanks for the info.
