>Why on earth, especially with the Captain's knowledge, was there be a >100 yd swim from the boat to the drop spot for students on their first >OW ocean dive? I think the distance went something like this: Swim out a small distance from the boat; Nope! not good here. Swim out further from the boat; Nope! not good here. Repeat until the answer is; Yup, here's the spot. I doubt that the Captain or anyone knew beforehand how far we would ultimately go before the conditions were right. >Wasn't the swim test done in the confined realm of a pool BEFORE they >got into open water? It was. Joe ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are no absolutes in this world. Truth is gray, and it is our job to seek out the truths we wish to follow, remembering never to judge the truths of others. Keep in mind that the difference between right and wrong can be infinitely small if you examine the problem from enough perspectives... and the ability to consider other perspectives is a sign of an advanced soul.
