Worst Mishap

when I lost the nudie I was trying to photograph because I looked away to fumble with something

There's not a whole lot of nudists that dive in the local waters around here but I can imagine the distraction it would cause!

I actually like reading about these, thanks for all that posted. We read lots about the "real" accidents that cause investigation, but it is these "almost" accidents that always lead up to the real one. Complacency seems to be a real killer, just like in any other activity. lots learn from.

I don't think everyone was being hard because the guy didn't purge. It was because he initially stated he hadn't learned how to purge yet (even though he was apparently learning SMB deployment skills). Then once called on it, explained he didn't have enough air in his lungs to do so. This created another round since you can purge a reg without ANY air in your lungs (tongue in hole, purge button). To start out with "I was freaked and made an error" versus "I wasn't taught" wouldn't have met with the same responses.

Right! nudge nudge, gotchya, I'm full on board, you've got your secrets and I've got mine not another word. I hear ya.
