On a recent trip to the Hole-in-the-Wall in Jupiter I had the pleasure of diving with some really aggressive and reckless divers. For those who dont know, HITW is a deep dive into a short overhead cave around 130-140FSW and subject to swift currents.- beyond recreational limits for sure
I planned 135 for 30 minutes, deco on 70% and was surprised to hear that three others would dive similar profiles... HP100s with no redundancy and flying computers the whole way.!? It should be said these divers are seasoned veterans with 1000s of dives and posses a bit of seniority on the boat- nevertheless, it concerned me a bit when one showed me 500psi with 10 minutes of hang time to go...:depressed:
As 'experienced divers', they obviously knew what they were getting into so i elected to mind my business
What would YOU do?
Maybe he'll get bent next time, maybe not. If you did it, you might get bent, or not.
However when given the choice between:
I'll go with the #1 every time.
- A computer that knows where I've been, how long I've been there, how hard I've been working and contains a pretty good decompression algorithm, and
- Hoping I won't get bent
