Don't tell me they don't teach that anymore.

I was taught everything but the name... so I guess that wasn't everything... I wonder what else was left out

Was also taught that, but didn't get a name for it until now, was just told it was touch communication.

Interesting. I'd never heard the name before. Here's a nice memorial page -

Thanks for the link to the page. Never saw that before. Quite the dude!!!

I was just taught "touch contact." Interesting to hear there's a name for it. I must have missed it while reading the Blue book.

I think we called it "bump and go" which is way more descriptive of the actual sequence.
It is interesting to know where it comes from, though.

Even the medical community is getting away from using eponyms due to confusion....

Dive safe,

Head down, vertical drop most of the way down, tight, silty, got stuck once, on another dive, got off the line in zero vis, but found it no problem. awesome experience. Enjoy!
