STUCK?

[Cavemn]

January exiting the cave I hit the keyhole restriction on my right side. I wriggled and moved my tanks a bit with no luck. I was able to back up, turn on my left side and pushed right through.

This incident that happened a couple of years ago in Utah really got to me.....

Safe diving,

I've been stuck a handful of times.

First couple of times stuck were in backmount. I had already played around with sidemount in OW before that and that 2ndI time convinced me to go sidemount for cave diving. That didn't really solve anything because I've been stuck a lot more times since I began diving sidemount. LOL! One thing I won't do is exhale to push through a restriction. I like breathing and that's difficult to do when your lungs are being compressed. It's usually a wedged cylinder or not finding the right way through a keyhole in zero visibility. A little patience has served me well every time.

You people aren't making it easy for those of us who may have a non-cavediving girlfriend that reads this forum. GL has always been wonderful about my diving, even not griping about my solo scootering, but this thread is bothering her. Let me again state my philosophy: If I can't go through it with backmounted doubles, two stages, and a UV-26, I'm not interested.

Hahaha, my wife isn't allowed to even look at my screen when I am on the forum.

How do you know she doesn't have her own login? Russell's GF has posted here!

Yep. I look at my own screen. I had to join to know what's going on, defend my BF, or even me! And I can deal with this thread knowing that Russell will not be posting an incident in it!

Let's hope not

My wife doesn't get on here, but we filmed jug and cow last trip and I have not showed the videos to her.

I have been what I consider stuck once in backmount. Took me about 5 minutes to get free. Felt like 5 hours. lol. I have been stuck once in sidemount, but that was under a coral ledge in OW trying to get a picture of a lobster.
