Story time... Commercial Spearfishing Trip Gone "Bad"...

[JDJP]

We go out of Jupiter inlet and head south, he's caught one over 500. But they get bigger.
That big one we caught, the core weighed 140, so it was brobly close to 200.

Supposedly you catch the bigger ones in the day, but you gotta drop deeper cause they are at the bottom.

Anyone that does not know to keep the bow into the waves has no business offshore. That is a person that will make five o'clock news. But if you are sea sick that does not mean you will drown I have only been sea sick once. But I was with some real good guys that threw me overboard. I thought I was going to drown for sure. As soon as I hit the water I felt great. I did not feel sick when I got back in the boat either. Just a cool trick I learned as a teenager. It is always better to have friends that will laugh at you than friends that feel sorry for you.

Man you guys would get a kick out of the people I deal with at work. I rent boats and jet skis. 90 % of them think they are experts, they say they have a boat, or used to. They all want to go out the inlet for some reason, and docking, HA.

Sometimes its funny, mostly its annoying. And I'm sure wed be freaking out if we could see what they were doing when they are out.

... As soon as I heard him kick it in gear I knew what would happen... I felt my hose come immediately tight, and took one more big breath.......

.......... as the hose wrapped around the propeller... cutting off my only air supply at 70'(compressed air mind you)...  Not good.

... Now when you dive compressed air at depth, your body absorbs nitrogen gas into your bloodstream... not dangerous at depth, but if you come up too quickly(like if you ran out of air lol)... the bubbles come out of solution, rupture blood vessels internally.... sometimes resulting in death... 

... again, was a long, painful rise to the surface...  beginning to see a patern at this point...    climbed aboard the boat for a "discussion" about moving with divers down.... before re-entering the water to try and salvage the hoses from the prop...

.

My first question would be...  why are you down 70ft on a vessel air with no bail out bottle.

? Why would you need one? He was not in cave or in a wreck. I know for a fact that you can slowly swim to the surface from 110' down on a single breath of air. You carry a bail out bottle to get out of something. If you breath in air at depth it is compressed. As you swim to the surface it expands. So do not hold your breath but slowly exhail and make sure you come up slower than the smallest bubble. I got to the surface and exhailed the rest of the air. If you don't believe me just take the regulator out and come up like like normal humming. The key is to not panic.

HAHA, thanks Tony, it was much more rivetting in person

You are correct sir... would have been a much safer idea    ...although we were diving within our deco limits, I still usually do a safety stop... which obvously was impossible in this instance... I was able to mantain a proper ascent however, thank God I'm a freediver 

... if you think that was dangerous... HAHA... I've done much, much dumber chit over the years you would have a field day with...
