I have only been on a couple of diveboats which allow simultaneous
departure. This particular boat has a gate on the side and the divers
que up for departure, one at a time. I suppose that it would be the
ideal buddy world, divers leaping off in pairs, holding hands. But
thats not possible in most cases.


And if you think I am going to bob around on the surface waiting, no
I'm not going to do that. That PADI technique might work in mill ponds
and quarrys but is not workable when there is a sea and current
running. You jump in and make straight for the hang bar or granny
line. And no, I don't have a snorkel either (gasp!). I'm a rebel. A
threat to the fabric of society.
