well you must not be a diver because you have to have a Rolex dive watch to be one.

I can't even count the reasons why people have told me I'm not a real diver.

Choice of fins, choice of lights.... even which D-ring I prefer to use to attach the spg.... There's even a discussion going on the board right now where someone is suggesting that others are not real divers because of their choice of boat capitans... The list is endless.

It's seems all of us here spend a lot of time posting on a diving forum even though we clearly don't qualify as divers.

I carry an Eezycut and trauma shears and never encountered anything they couldn't handle.

If I do feel the need to carry a 'proper' diving knife I have one of these;

Green River Diving Knife

$600 diving knives are for those who get issued them as standard kit.

hmmmm.... maybe I underestimate it then. I have this vision of impotent yanking without satisfying results (no innuendo of any kind intended). Guess that says more about my bias than the reality given that I haven't actually tried cutting rope with a trilobite.

When you need this nothing else will do.

The nets that are abandoned on our wrecks are often made from ropes as thick as your finger

No problem then.

We all know that diving into a net is not a problem, until you turn and twist (fish do that). Reversing out is a simple and efficient solution. For humans only, though. The valve behind your neck is the problem. So, don't dive with back mounted tanks where nets may exist (=the sea)(I'm a side mount diver )

The thicker the net, the easier the entanglement is to undo.
