With what are you impressed? That they did a 160' bounce dive for no apparent result, with no goal, with no redundancy, as a threesome with very little experience? All three people on this dive are idiots, by my reckoning. Inexperienced idiots, but idiots nonetheless. The leader of this dive is both an idiot and irresponsible, potentially lifethreateningly irresponsible. If one assumes the details of this dive are accurate, then it is clear to me that this dive should not be admired, oohed over, or given any positive light whatsoever. The divers who followed should be carefully educated on the very large number of potential problems they narrowly avoided. The diver who led should be taken out back and flogged. Dive intelligently.
