PH #1 golden rule for his boat

This is the second time this huy has been rescused for the same reason... and it all seems for crayfish!!

The biggest lesson he had learnt was to always take a dive sausage with him.

‘‘He dives on his own, has poor equipment and doesn't follow safety regulations.''

What a goober..

they should charge him the "thousands of dollars" that both searches cost. fool.

Twice in a month???

Oh well at least he is keen.



Lets face it, Him diving solo has little to do with it. If he had a buddy then it would be likely his buddy would have ended up in the same situation.

Cant really comment on the poor equipment thing as we dont know what equipment he had but everyone should have a SMB and not one of those crap safety sausage things ( though they are better than nothing).
As Taz points out, #1 rule on my boat everyone carrys an SMB.

Oh well, lets hope he learns a lesson this time and hopefully other who hear of it will learn something too.

It still amazes me that they dont teach SMB deployment in OW or AOW.

I know someone who knows this guy...he has been diving for a thousand years apparently.

He has done this a few times before.

Where he dives often has ripping currents. I think he is nuts
