Cozumel equipment failure

[Jax]

Don't do overhead dives without overhead training and appropriate equipment?

And for those following my prior rant, this is Yet Another A&I entry that wouldn't exist if people followed their training recommendations.

flots.

And there would be no unwanted pregnancies if people only had sex when they were trying to have a baby.

Many thousands of people dive the swim throughs of Cozumel and elsewhere throughout the world every year without incident. Some are only a couple of feet long. Some are longer. They are extremely popular attractions. Do you really think the solution is to tell everyone to just say no?

Perfect! Just Perfect!

Well, I just helped get a compressor up and running in Cozumel last month, so I know of at least ONE other place down there to get tanks filled.

... on 4' Miflex hoses, that way, since the octos work upside down as well as right side up, they don't have to be the 'traditional' 5 or 7' 'techie' long hose lengths....and they are sufficiently long enough for 2 divers to traverse a restriction/swimthrough single-file, without the extra bulk/complexity of the 'traditional' long hose.

How do 2, 6 foot divers share air single file using a 4 foot hose?

I know miflex hoses are flexible but never realized they are elastic as well.

I have no problem with short, wide swimthroughs where you can see the exit from the entrance.

However for the "magic" "follow me!" swimthroughs that become mostly vertical, single file with no light, no way to back up and no way to get out in an emergency, yeah, "just say no" is completely appropriate.
