    The fear of not diving! Being out of the water too long! I just had one of the worst ear infections ever and it almost kept me out of the water! Oh no, nit that!!!!! So I dived anyway! Covered my ears with Lycra and Neoprene took Sipro and went diving!

    Default Spooky

    Have you ever dived with low visibility?
    See the perceived shadow of an object or a creature just out of sight and visibility?
    Ever wonder if what you are believing to see is something really there and
    if it is something will it be some large unknown creature never seen before
    that will inhale you into its mouth.

    These are just some of the things that run through my mind while diving.

    That's spooky.

    Dude, I was a Sheriff's Dive Team Diver for 61/2 years, all we had was Zero Vis! Sometimes in complete darkness looking for a dead body, can you say spooky?

    Ace,
    Something about my displacement vs. mass in the water. The current really like me

    On the brightside, I do have the most awesome drift dives

    Papa Bear, we have a lot of Braille diving here too

    Something you are doing is not right, that is for sure. If you drop your weights, you should go to the surface without any air in your BC, let alone if you fill your BC.

    I think I found your problem.....you are a rock, like granite or marble. That is why you don't use any air and you still sink without any weights and a BC full of air.

    The current gets really strong past a certain depth on that drift and starts to pull downwards. & I've grown a little (okay, a lot) horizontally and soooo I need a new BC w/ more lift...and...um...growing room....

    Still the current likes me a lot, when I have my BC on, at depth or on the surface

    As for your theory, hmmm....., that would explain why I keep having that heavy & full feeling in my head - I'm not getting enuf o2 to my brain!

    I don't know, something does not sound right. I don't care if you are 500lbs, you are going to float without any weight on and with any size BC (even a kids size) and you definately won't sink.

    Maybe there is some 20 knot downward current where you are diving, but that wouldn't make much sense either. Maybe there is something you are forgetting to tell us???
