George is right, don't prepare for possible eventualities. But wear a long hose, just in case. And for all those new divers on the list, listen to brother George, don't dive with anyone whom you can't be certain is not a "stroke" (Florida cave diving term) which means you probably shouldn't dive at all. All praise that which spews forth from George's mouth. Amen brothers Mark BTW, there are plenty of GOOD reasons to carry a snorkel on dives. If you must wouldn't it be nice to be able to discuss the proper ways of doing so? ----------- George Irvine wrote: > > This bit about taking a snorkel in case the dive boat leaves you and your gear > is screwed up is the kind of thing that always amazes me - here we have > apparently intelligent people who do not see the obvious - there is something > wrong with the picture. > > Try diving with a buddy, diving on a boat that counts heads, diving the right > gear, and shit stops happening.
