As I've mentioned in other threads my husband and I got certified last September - since then we've made several trips to dives lakes and a river (and cleaned the bottom of a friend's pool ) In the next few weeks we will be doing a "rig dive" in the Gulf of Mexico - plan to descend on a line - wondering how much weight I should add - is there a standard? I've been told by some friends that they double the weight they use in fresh water when they dive in saltwater.
Also - not sure that we'll come across any - but what exactly do you do if you're swimming around and happen to see a shark? Do you continue swimming without any fast movements or turn and go another way or what?
