A couple of knuckleheads in this NG have requested I tell my 'close
call' story, so here goes.



Great post!!!

Personally, I don't have a problem with the decision to postpone sending
someone down. It sounds like a 10 ton boat was slapping about in rough
water. I wouldn't want to get under such a beast.



Correct. I have dived under boats in short seas (near reefs) and it is
very very dangerous. Sometimes just going hove to and using a boat hook
can work wonders.

Cheers
