    At least golf ponds don't blow up like tires can. I've heard of guys fixing truck flats and blowing them up without the safety of a tire cage. It's okay until one explodes. None of the tractor tire repairs I've seen used cages, but then they use lower pressures.

    No, I would not suggest golf pond diving to anyone for the reasons WickedGoodOutdoors gave, plus other safety factors like solo diving, hooka diving with different risks than scuba's, entanglement, etc. The job seems to attract newbies who are just not qualified to deal with the risks, and we do read about associated deaths now and then.
    You can test the tanks you breathe or - dive on hope.
    Testing is safer...


    Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!

    >> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
    Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??

    Hey Bill,

    I know now we are speaking of the same dude. Ran into his brother on a course it appears Boyd Strickling owner of Underwater General Maintenance
    left in the middle of the night with all of the company equipment. Boyd Strickling ripped off investors and his own brother.
    Appears he also has of problem with drug addiction along with a criminal history in the Carolinas. Just be careful
    who you work for and check them out all the way around golf ball recovery is a tricky bizzzz.
