Early in my diving... < 30
- Got disoriented by bubbles coming up from divers below and found myself on the surface
- Underweighted and struggled to stay down
- End of dive required swimming against unexpected current. Normal safety stop. Finished dive with 5 bar.
- Another diver got lost when we returned to a very crowded bay, 5 boats?. Case of crisscrossing groups? She didn't surface after 1 minute and instead searched along the shoreline. She surfaced 50m? away on her own, after making a safety stop. I spotted her as the surfacing solo diver out in the distance.
Later...
- After a sitting back entry from a tender, I started to back away when I backed into the diver who entered before me. It was a drift dive, so we needed to enter quickly and back away from the tender. The diver before me didn't back up fast enough and decided to fiddle with his gear. As the tender backed up, the hull hit my forehead and I got a gash. I swam up to the DM and pointed to my forehead and he said it was okay, so I proceeded with the dive. At the end of the dive, the blood was apparent once I was out of the water. Gash was sealed with liquid bandage and there's no scar.
- DMT tried to deploy SMB and got tangled in the line. (We were led into the extreme shallows, < 5m.) I was his buddy and untangled him.
- Another diver in our dive group thought she was OOA and went for the surface. She hadn't been diving for 10(?) years, didn't take a refresher, and thought 50 bar, where SPG's typically are marked with red, meant OOA.
- Another diver signaled 4 minutes, instead of 3, when we arrived at the safety stop. The DM checked his dive computer and he was in mandatory deco. He had been doing multiple dives over three days and many times went below everyone to look at things. He probably never saw mandatory deco on his computer before and also thought he would just clear overnight.
- Last diver was still getting out of the water when the prop started up. Everyone yelled and it was quickly shut down.
