Put a fine mesh screen over the exhaust valve of your reg as that might break up the bubbles a bit and then have a buddy swim above you and carry a large plastic trash bag over his head and work quickly and then swim away from the fishermen before the bag gets to much lift to hold down. Vent and repeat :)
 
I am really enjoying this thread. It is almost as good as the incident in the dressing room.

BTW: Can I have your gear after you're dead? If so, I'll be sure to tell everyone I dive with about you and your plan.
 
Yea go ahead and make them think there is a monster in the pond. Just don't be in the pond when some einstein tosses a stick of dynamite in.

I don't think the dead diver scenario is that likely. It's just too hard to reel a diver in fast enough to embolize him. I see an ear maybe, or perhaps a scrotum, ripped in half by a fish hook. I am interested in negotiating for the video rights in advance, before it goes viral. We could have a tiered price structure that rewards the OP more for donating a testicle than some ear cartilage.

PM me, Porkfried! If things go well you will be able to afford a rebreather--and a prosthetic testicle!

:D

Made of stainless steel! :eyebrow:
Play your cards right and you might even be able to drop a few weights after this all blows over.
 
Weave long grass, weeds and twiggs together into a matt that drifts on the surface above you to conceal your bubbles. Swim slowly, pulling the matt above you. If mutliple fisherman are nearby, tie their lines together. Tug on their lines, then retreat discretely.

Worked last time I tried it.... did not lose testicle or earlobe, but lower lip was badly snagged.... it now "dribbles" a bit when I drink.... :wink:

Do send us the video if you attempt this....

Disclaimer: I am kidding, and hope the OP is as well..... :idk:

Best wishes.
