That's a new on me! :hmm Is it dangerous? Sounds like it could lead to dehydration!jimdoe2you said:
That reminds me: when climbing legend, Don Whillans was asked why he drank so much beer, he responded dryly: "I have a morbid fear of dehydration".
[Where else but DeeperBlue could I learn 2 new phrases in a single day: "Immersion Diuresis" & "felching". Technology -- isn't it wonderful! rofl ]

lets not forget the possibility of shark attack, man-o-war stings (not deadly but makes u want to die). there are some pretty nasty critters out in the ocean....also dont know if anyone mentioned abdominal/diaphragm injures.

Any details on ab/diaphragm? medical terms? How about hernias? You inspired me to add a few more of my own too. Thanks!BTW what does meat tenderizer do to jellyfish stings -- my South African spearo book recommends carrying it. What is it?
Run over by a drunken boater! :blackeye
Meat tenderizer, alcohol, or vinegar will denature the venom. The reason being, all venom is basically a serum (protein), and alcohol if strong enough, will denature protein by dehydrating and coagulating it, thus rendering it biologically inactive. Meat tenderizer actually contains papain. Papain is a proteolytic enzyme (protease) which breaks down proteins, thus inactivating the venom.
There are quite a few other remedies available, but it depends where you are in the world. If you are near some papaya, this works as well. One remedy is always available no matter where you are in the world because you carry it with you. Your freinds also carry it with them as well. It is the beer they drank the night before. Now let's see who your real freinds are!!! rofl rofl rofl

Killing to many fish
Hitting your head on the oil rig cross member when hauling a** from a deep dive. (in my case)
Intoxication(boat ride home)
Getting eaten by a mako ( boy would that s*ck)
Having a scuba diver out shoot you. :vangry
Skid marks in your grape smuggler after almost being eaten by a mako.

Wow - good answer JimDoe2you! So when people pee on you -- it could be a sign of friendship & caring?! rofl
Already added boat trauma & creature attack. There are about 30 items in the danger list now, think I will take up a safer activity, such as knitting or ice climbing.

So a black spot is worse than a green spot?lamantino said:Bad news Lucia

I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible to see a short term evidence for such an occurance on instruments, what about long term effects?
sorry for my bad englishDeepThought said:So a black spot is worse than a green spot?
black spot = little bit of brain dead, lost forever
even for a little BO, it seems
the effect onLMC had to be verified
that's why I never thought to push my apnea just near the limit
but I'm a beginner

I had to add a section for wetsuit related issues after a friend sent me this picture (obviously he has a keen interest in health & safety):
