Looking through many of the threads, talking about risk management and how never to get yourself into a bad situation either with buddies or your own skills, how many of us actually do what we preach?
Post your best dive/trip you turned down due to your risk assessment
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mine is a weekend trip up to Presque Isle area of lake Huron for a semi-private charter to dive deep wrecks. Most were in the 180'-215' range. I turned it down because I would have had to do it on air. I did not have enough notice to get mix (1.5 days) and I am not comfortable personally going below 150'-160' on air.
Looking back, I only really regret I couldn't get the mix lined up to go. Maybe this summer.
