The Mexican Tetra

[sskasser]

Hey y'all,
I've been suggested one thing to keep those critters busy:
1-attach (extra) BUL to primary - make sure it's on!
2-swim very discretely while covering your PL...
3-swim a bit more...
4-a bit more...
5-bit more...
6-ok, have look behind (don't stare!)...it should be tetrafree!!!
7-Go and enjoy your dive!

What d'you reckon?

(Thanks Santi)

Saludos,

I think he means attach a back up light to your line from your primary reel at your primary tie off to distract the tetras from following you.

Almost there,
In fact the idea is to place the Back Up Light on the Permanent Line so like this you are already in the cave and the little tetras stay behind.

Too many abbreviations!

"Primary" could mean Primary light, Primary reel, Primary regulator...

If PL is Permanent line, how do you "cover" it while swimming?

The other problem with this whole theory is Tetras might be able to follow your pressure wave in total darkness.

Ok...ok, I admit it's a bit complicated with all these acronyms...I got confused myself!

Tetras are not cave creatures and have not (yet!) developed the navigational ability that guides the Lucifuga (Mexican version) in the total darkness of the cave...Or maybe they have!

Here we have a survey slate to bring out on next dives in Mexican caves, thanks to Texas University and its team:
