Cave diving dangerous?

[Tegg]

I agree with shirley and think they just need more enforcement of existing laws, not more rules / certifications.

Man! It was an emergency room doctor who did the hit and run accident that resulted in the loss of the diver's legs!

It makes me think of the doctor in CA who passed two cyclists, then stopped short in front of them "to teach them a lesson." One of the cyclists hit his car and busted his nose when breaking out a face-shaped hole in the window. That doc got 5 years for road rage. The "lesson" comment to the 1st police officer on the scene didn't help him any during the trial.

What is it with these doctors who, besides the participants of the sports themselves, should be the most careful?????

I am an emergency physician and avid cyclist, as well as cave diver. That bastard in Calif. is NO colleague of mine.

Indeed. Well pointed out that broad brushes paint outside the lines (does that make any sense?).

Woo Hoo by the way. Cyclist and cave diver!

Thanks - And that other bastard who ran over the diver? NO colleague of mine either! Take 'em out and shoot 'em both!

It would make more sense to run them over or run them down with a boat. Shooting is a bit too quick.

Yeah - giving them some of their own "medicine" would be appropriate!

A large private fishing boat pulled up, and dropped a very large anchor that landed about 30 feet from me. My flag was clearly visible, with calm seas and calm wind. My dive boat captain, who had a large dive flag clearly displayed on his boat and was close by, informed the fishing boat that he had a diver down. The person with the anchor ignored the warning, dropped the anchor, and then responded “what?” to my boat captain.

I can think of some things that I may have done with that anchor rode if I was diving there... especially if the fishing boat had twin screws with inboards...

You could of created your own artificial reef.

For a pastor I have really bad thoughts!
