Entering a wreck at 40m without a guide line is asking to die.
I have over 10k dives and the closest I came to death was when I was guiding on the liberty wreck in bali when a small earthquake shook the wreck, I was barely 3 meter into the wreck that I had dived hundreds of times and couldn't find my way out. Fortunately my buddy was outside the wreck at the time and used his banger to guide me out.
Point is, shit happens, so you better plan for it.
- kubanczyk 5y ago> 10k Gulp... That puts it in perspective. It's exceptional to dive a hundred times on a wreck in Bali and write about it on HN - and do both in the same live. Respect!
- diveanon 5y agoThanks :) You do about 1k dives per year if you are working in diving. I have loads of respect for some of the recreational divers I have met with hundreds of dives, that is a lot of money and time to invest in a hobby.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoMad respect. I don't dive, anymore, but I think I only had about 30 or so in my log book. What compounds it, is that we have an environment of "Macho Knuckleheads" around here. They will do things like dive the SD alone, and skip the decomp.
