absolutely hilarious :)
But what was it that he got caught on?
Before I even saw him getting caught on the railing, my thought was, why are you sitting on the railing? Trying to bend it?!

Anyway, I hope he was ok, it would suck if he couldn't breathe!
Caught on a crotch strap. Thats why you never do them up sitting down.

Ace I fully agree 100%
Excuse my ignorance but why do you need a crotch strap to free dive?
By the way I can't stop laughing at this...
ha ha ... I actually saw the same thing happen to a guy in doubles ... ! lol
Oooh. Now that must have been painful. It makes me so glad I'm female :)Quote:

Doubles is using two cylinders banded together, usually connected by a manifold that allows gas to flow freely between both cylinders. In the old days when cylinders were typically much smaller, it was common to see triple setups for the bigger dives.Quote:

Actually I just saw them on ebay, tripple AL30's with a tripple manifold all inside an ABS housing. There is about 30 minutes left in the auction.

I maybe simple but I'm easy too!
Wow, that unit looked pristine and it went for only $500.Quote:

yea so back to dady-h20's question about the crotch strap and free diving?

Just looking at it again it may be a 2 piece wetsuit and thats the tail piece wrapped under the bar.
Matt
But I think beaver tail wetsuits have been long gone.....way before CAMO wetsuits came out.Quote:

Good thing his knife is handy; What a dork!
WHICH SUPPORTS MY IDEA THAT IT WAS ALL A SET UP.
Still laughing!!!!!!!
KNIFE!!!!
Another thing I like to keep away from my crotch.
What the hell is wrong with you nuts?
Maybe, when we do arrange a ScubaMagazine Dive Trip, we should setup that someone does something equally simple and highly amusing - DaddyH2O will be in LOL'ing hysterics for the whole trip :D :DQuote:
