Subject: Re: The long hose strangler
No one is going to sneak up on me when I'm wedged in a hole, even
if they do all they can grab is my fins. If I am out of the wreck and 
someone
approachs I will meet them and CONTROL the situation. I was a lifeguard
when I was younger, you NEVER let a drowning person take control,
if you do, you die. Since I am either in transit or in a hole I am "not 
likely"
to have this happen to me. I can see how this might be more prevalent
in other situations others dive in, then perhaps it is a good idea.

I believe my way of diving is best FOR ME, and I will not push my
ideas on anyone, but I would like the opportunity to discuss
different opinions, something that for some reason is frowned on here.

Mark

You are kind of suggesting that the diver is not aware of his rig.  Have you
ever heard of shitty vis?  What about solo diving and someone coming up to
you from another group while you are on the same wreck?
