Hi my name is Rodger Lucas. My wife, Brigitte, and myself are PADI Dive
Masters in training. We just have the Open Water Internship to complete.
We are not technical divers yet but are interested in all aspects of diving.
Maybe someday soon we will seriously take up that aspect of the sport. Our
main location of diving is the St. Lawrence River between Kingston, Ontario
and Montreal, Quebec. Wreck and drift diving are our preferred types of dives.
Until we receive the appropriate training, deco and wreck penetration, we are
content to dive within PADI guidelines.
I do have a question concerning wreck penetration. I read in rec.scuba that
a group of divers entered a wreck, took off their fins and left them at the
entry point, toured the interior, and retrieved their fins on exitting.
I would assume that they removed their fins in order to reduce silting
out the interior. Is this an acceptable thing to do in wreck penetration?
If a diver has to exit from the opposite end of a wreck in an emergency
then ... oh oh no fins!
Regards,
Rodger Lucas
