Serious Question

Tue, 2009-04-07 19:36

You say your mate has bought a tank DYI? unless he or you have been taught the basics of diving,plus some on top,I do Not think you should allow him to dive 13mtrs for it,this is not a deep dive by any means but,a person can drown in a soup bowl,and get,either an Pulmonary Barratrumma,(lung injury) and these can be quite bad to ho shit he is dead.It is only a pot,ask a more experienced person to get it for you,depending were you put it eg northern Suburbs I will go with you and help rather that think you or your mate try and become a statistic,jersey phone me 93099438

If your mate is not a diver

Tue, 2009-04-07 19:40

If your mate is not a diver I would say ,dont try to get it ,as you may end up diving for him. Try tieing another 40m of rope on and pull from a different angel, as if the pot has gone under an edge and your rope is stright up and down you not going to get it out. We used to do this in 40m sometimes, put on 120m of rope and drive to the ful length do a large circle ,this used to get them out. did that make any sence.

buy a new pot, a diver would probably want a carton of beer at least for his efforts.

Some good sense spoken

Mon, 2009-04-13 19:46

Some good sense spoken here.  I remember telling someone that I was a scuba diver and he told me of a relative of his.  He told me that the guy was a "Self taught" diver and was brilliant but he had something go wrong and he had such a close call that he vowed never to go diving again.  The way the story was told suggested that despite the fact that I had qualifications in diving I was foolish to risk diving at all.  The fact that the guy was self taught was never considered!
