    Tough Exit

    Most likely qualifies as a near-miss?

    What kills me is that the cameraman (or maybe camerawoman who knows) kept filming! Isn't this when you help someone because they are obviously in need?

    Plenty of others around to help, Honestly it really didn't look that bad. I would of taken my fins off before I tried to climb that kinda ladder. Curious who it was though.

    How exactly would you go about helping them? They got themselves away from the wall and I agree with the other poster, it looked worse than it probably was.

    On side note I hope my first shore diving experience goes a little easier than what is shown in the video, yikes.

    Brings up something my OW instructor once told me ... never get in the water without first making sure you know how you're going to get out ...

    Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love deeply, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.

    Not everyone who reads SB is looking to learn how best to use their new snorkel. Some are here just hoping to get the chance to tell someone else exactly what they can do with their new snorkel. While others are trying to sell their old snorkel. (gypsyjim)

    HEY! What's really funny was the suggested video that came up at the end: Lynne and Peter Scootering Point Lobos Wonder how they came up with that?
