    Farnsworth Banks accident last weekend?

    Bob... Points of clarification. The location where the buddy surfaced (away from the line) was not very far from the boat. Easy swimming distance. The buddy was however, in a panic due to OOA and the Zodiac picked him up. There was NO current and the viz was 50-100' I have dove Farnsworth...

    Farnsworth Banks accident last weekend?

    So, I can comment on a few of UWxplorer's points: > Quoted experience level is not in the proverbial danger zone (According to statistical data that zone is between 5-20 dives) But, I agree with your points regarding "Comfort and sloppiness" that does definitely come in to play at the 100 or...

    Farnsworth Banks accident last weekend?

    All good questions. He WAS NOT using his Alternate Air source to "Breathe" off of at the safety stop. And to Chilly's point - It is not uncommon to have to "Vent" from your BCD on your way up. "If" you are using the BC for Buoyancy Control. Which he would have been, since he was diving in...

    Accident in Clear Lake, Oregon

    Very sad...Condolences to the family and all involved. I certainly hope this one accident does not become the impetus for the USFS to close Clear Lake to diving. I have probably 15-20 dives there including deep and night dives. It is (just barely) an altitude dive and typical water temps...

    Diving Waldo Lake

    Things I can definitely verify regarding Waldo - It is VERY clear (100+ Vis) - It is cold 48 degrees - It is pretty bare...Not much to see. Fun dive just because!
