Any UK spearo underwater attacks?

[Pastor]

PASTOOORRRRRRRRRR

Good to see you back on even if its fleeting. Hope it sorts itself out soon. What is causing the problem? Not healing?

Did a lot of damage when it hit me, a bit like a bullet I suppose. It did a bit of muscle damage but it got badly infected with sheep dip or something months after it happened. I think it's largely fixed now, certainly there's only a triangular scar about 3 inch long to be seen now. I have been diving in the Red sea earlier in the month but I'm not up to any spearing yet, probably just scrap this season and build up for next year, get some serious sheep worrying in over the winter rofl

Podge me old mucker! Finished me PhD back in 2006, been Woking ever since then as chief welly tester for Dunlop, the new "Sprint" model and the new "Mud Runner" specially designed for the Welsh mountain games rofl
Been a while since I was last in sadly, I heard a snorkeller found a missing person floating in one of my favourite Bass gulleys and wondered if it was anyone from here who had found him. Thankfully not it seems, wouldn't wish that on a dog.

Yeah mate, I know you like the kinky in the bath with them stuff but keep it dry. Just go for the old velcro gloves and oversize wellies to stick their feet in jobby you used to like

Catch up soon bud hope you do get in this year

 

[Pastor]

Yeh, terrifying!!!

I think I might start to carry a "Spare Air" Oceanic Spare Air 300 Package | Regulators,Octopus | Simply Scuba UK

Only just spotted this.

Lightweight

Don't sell your scuba stuff just yet then eh

And on a serious note careful with compressed air and Freediving ascents its a recipe for a decent fatal embolism.

Agree. Unless you know scuba, best not use compressed air. Lung expansion damage etc...not pretty. Have to say though, the gill net story does make a can like this feel useful...

 

[manalive!]

Don't worry fellas, I'm not panicking about attacks etc, just wondering about it, that's all.

As for the Spare Air, I suppose I'd seriously consider one as a back up the the event of getting caught in the water, purely as a last safety option not, as a way of improving my dive times.

I'm a pretty experienced scuba diver too, so I am aware of the risk of rapid ascent and compressed air.

Steve (Apneaboy) you should know that I'm not risk adverse, at the weekend I was in a car with you driving

 

[manalive!]

Given what others have said, I'm also a little worried about getting hit my a boat or jetski, perhaps this would be useful

Sure if you want to walk around on the bottom... pretty hard to breath up in that

And just imagine the rust!!

 

[manalive!]

Rust = camo.

Had an underwater attack of bad wind once! Terrified at the thought I may well have inadvertently spat mud I surfaced, it thankfully only inflated my suit a little and then bubbled its way up to my hood but upon release it did stangle me on the surface! I was not fatally wounded.....but I was nearly sick! :yack

 

[manalive!]

A Spare Air could've helped you out of that potentially dangerous situation.

 

[Yeti]

it was the possibility of poo in my suit that frightened me the most!

Yeti gis a bell about the Farnes mate its still on.

I heard a story about a drysuited caver sh****** himself on a long dive once, he had slightly fluid faecal evacuations which apparently got into every single nuck and cranny in the suit. Glad I didn't have to open that for him

I didn't even get close enough to knock those two small antenna things off that you have on the side of the car for feeling your way around traffic so I consider that level of driving prudent.

@ Podge. Mate even being in the car with a manc and a scouser (jay) we couldn't have got that tight gets wallet off him!
