Everyone makes mistakes, its part of being human. If your paying attention you can learn from your mistakes and the others around you can learn from your mistakes as well without the pain.
So my question is, whats the dumbest thing youve done in the water? Again in the water!
Ill go first. This may not be my dumbest thing I've done but its a good one. It was a really hot summer day and we had climbed over a jetty made up of large boulders to get to the entry site. By the time I got there I was about to pass out from heat exhaustion, so without hesitation I jumped in. I wear typhoon drysuits, they are front entry suits, and the zipper wraps around your torso. This one had a flap over the zipper so you couldnt tell by looking at me that my zipper was not closed. In fact I hadnt zipped it at all! The good news, I instantly cooled off, the bad news, I jumped off a large bolder to get in and the only exit was quite a ways down the jetty. By the time I got out my suit was about half full of water and I could barley pick up my legs to walk. The lesson, check your zipper, then check it again and then check it one more time.
OK everybodys got one of these lets have um.
