Dive stories...

[divindoubles]

Hey guys,

I am a lurker who has enjoyed reading this forum for a long time. I cannot remember a time when the conversation was this dull. I know batteries are important and dive sites are a great topic, but how about some dive stories or near death experiences or just plain ole SIDesque banter to liven things up a bit? I haven't been doing this long enough to contribute any dive stories, but I could start things off with the time one of my dive buddies got his drysuit catheter stuck in his (well, you get the picture). That was a memorable cave diving moment for sure! Any more such stories? Please share...

Gees, you guys are a tough crowd! In the last two days I told a story about being stuck on a ledge 70 feet off the ground with no rope while FW falls off a cliff and I end up having to rescue myself. Then a story about being in a cave without a ladder or a brain! How near death does a story have to get! Cindy

I wouldn't say I was ever intro certified. Went 7 days straight and at the end I was full cave (admittedly, I was then more or less an intro diver with a full cave card)

No more intro on doubles comments, I think the 20 pages of replies on TDS and Scubaboard oretty much have it covered.

As far as stories, some time in the late 70's I was holding onto the mast of a sinking boat with a giant great white heading right for me. Fortunately he still had an AL 80 stuck in his mouth from his attempts to sink the boat and I still had my rifle on me. Needless to say, it made quite a mess.
