Your last response bears little relevance to this initial "analysis." Analysis never starts with assumptions like this, in this case that it can be made safe. You just invented the scenario.
I suspect you don't regularly dive with drysuits. Suit floods happen often, I've had lots of buddies get floods, and there's no impeded leg movement. No idea why you think there would be. Thermal shock and heat loss are an issue, but I've known guys with full suit floods continue the dive for...
Agreed, but if it was dropped by the dive operator, it's probably just a long line with a big-ass weight on the end; if it was sunk by a proper commercial outfit it might be fixed, giving more hassle to retrieve it.
The local dive shop (Scuba Tec) who were supporting him dropped the line.
Sorry, I misremembered that, stcroixscuba posted: "There was a question about the line. Dr. Garman had contracted with a commercial dive company here to sink a 1,300' line anchored by a 250# anchor."
Nope, stcroixscuba...
You can be on the surface but breathing out starts to make you sink, if you haven't filled BCD. Swamped by a wave at the same moment could have the same effect. Seems unlikely you'd have reg out in seas that rough though.
