Wow! I'm not shocked that this was split off from the original. But I've read a ton of posts from live4sharks and never knew she was a she!

Another thing I learned: Don't ever share my mistakes here again for damned sure, but that one and several others I've made are recorded.
DandyDon:The Bible says "pride commeth before a fall," somewhere, I'm pretty sure, don't remember where, but when you find it - look for my picture.
Wow, got to wonder how you dug that up.A long time ago you said:
Yeah, the reason I will never share a mistake I made in diving here again is because there are members who will twist my stories and throw them around like fact.There's nothing wrong with sharing your mistakes. The problem comes in when people fail to recognize when something is a mistake and dig their heels in debating an an intenable opinion while others make it a goal to point that out. Yeah, sometimes those debates get a bit heated, but in the end I think everyone learned something and mostly come to agreement.
Wow, got to wonder how you dug that up.
If I told you, I'd have to kill you.Wow, got to wonder how you dug that up.

I said several hours ago that onespeed wins the bag thing, but he kept harping on that anyway, so don't tell me to admit anything here.
I have no idea, I don't recall that one. But I have to wonder why you're encouraging someone to dig it up if you're concerned about your stories being twisted around. Seems like thats just adding fuel to the fire.So, where is this submerged smb thread? I'd like to see it...?
Snook, again - my heart goes out to you all three, as I am sure you were all just frantic, and I am so glad you had a happy ending.Thankyou for your comments. I dont know how this forum functions. If you guys want to repost this imfo anywhere else that more could see --have at it

I'm half guessing here, but from your post - I gather that they carried no signaling devices? Perhaps they took it as a simple dive they've done so many times and took the risks too lightly? I am not nearly as experienced, but I am guessing that this could happen with more easily with more experienced divers.
As I said above, I carry a lot of devices on every dive, and I think for my Bahama liveaboard in a few weeks, I think I'll add a white trash bag. Even at night, one could use a dive light shinning up the neck into the inflated bag to make the whole thing light up. The ones I have on hand are flimsy; I'll buy heavy duty next trip to the grocery.
Oh, just curious how, why you bothered, what you were looking for, etc. I normally wouldn't do that to a person, or if I did wouldn't be proud of it - throwing something back at them that they said years ago, but at least you quoted it instead of what I get otherwise here.If I told you, I'd have to kill you.
I don't know that is true, but I certainly wouldn't do so here.People only have the amount of power over you that you're willing to give them.
Nor do I, but onespeed said it was one of mine, which strikes me as a bigger lie than the mugged diver accusation. So....???I have no idea, I don't recall that one. But I have to wonder why you're encouraging someone to dig it up if you're concerned about your stories being twisted around. Seems like thats just adding fuel to the fire.
