yea sexydiver16 but there are sites with good dive stories on the net too. The myscubastory site has the best. They also have dive accident stories and videos; lost buddy stories and shark encounter videos. all of them are true life. Type myscubastory into google and its the first site.

Good god, these guys were just all over the place. Buoyancy? What buoyancy? Suckin air like crazy and no one was alarmed? I would have had them out of the water asap. Accident waiting to happen. And there is never a good reason to be overweighted. That's just plain stupid. We all are taught about neutral buoyancy in class and we all know better. I'm just sayin........
Did Barracuda Reef in Cozumel one year. Divemaster said "there's weight here". He had a bus load of weight on board-enough for THREE full boats of divers it looked like. This time it was just him, me and my friend. I think we used 12 lbs between us.
I said "Pedro, why do you carry this much weight on board?"
He said "Every year the Americans get bigger and bigger, so I carry more and more weight"
yeah, it´s kinda tricky, if u dont know what to do! all the times amazing to see how little consciousness some peolpe are some times, specially in kinda dangerous environments like under water...
Well, as an instructor you sometimes have to overweigh your students, because they just won't sink... Fat balances out weight, so the fatter you are the more weights you need. When I started diving I was 105 kg and I wore 13 kg... Now I'm thinner and I dive with about 4 (ok, ok, I'm a better diver now). I agree though that with poor boyancy like this, you SHOULDNT go to 25 meters!!! People just don't realize how bloody deep that really is!
yes thats exactly it. the corpulent guy was working so hard on his boyancy he was the first out of air. this was taken at about 25meters. when he first said he was out of air he had 100bar. 2 minutes later he had 50.
Yeah Mr corpulent made me nervous just watching too! Maybe not such a good idea to go down to 25 mts if you are not somewhat expereinced with boyancy , etc.
btw underground, I'd guess they are (smaller HEAVIER!!) 300 bar steel tubes and not 200 bar alum
it is not in many countries as it uses 300 bar as far as I know are just north (Sweden, Denmark, finland) and England using 300 bar. and they've obviously 200 bar with
@Schou89 You are right, in Sweden they definetly use 300bar cylinders, but in Finland only a small group have 300bar bottle. Reason is very simple. Most of the Finnish compressors can fill only with 200bars and also they boyancy of 300bar bottle makes a huge difference when it's full and when it's empty. Also it's very difficult to calculate ex. Nitrox percent if you have 300bar can that's for compressibility. But Swedes uses the 300bars.
I don't know what is worse. The divers or some comments that are made here.

These guys have terrible buoyancy problems!! Wasting all their gas kicking to stay at level. Terrible!

Sure thing, fatter people need more weight since fat is positive buoyant.
but isn´t there a difference between propper weighting (with heaps of lead on fat people if u have to...) and overweighting?
So if you are very buoyant due to more bodyfat you put on more weights, but you do it related to your buoyancy, so you don´t have to be overweighted?!
but yeah, propper weightuing comes easier with experience and training...

yeah, an instructor should know better with the weights... was a neutral buoyancy surface check made?
abgefahren2007 3 years ago
well of course. but that is useless if someone does not know how to stay neutral buoyant...
