Re: Open Water
I don't know how great of an idea this is, but when in belize doing a search and recovery dive for AOW cert, the boat captain lost us. My instructor took his regulator off his tank, positioned the tank 4 inches below the water, and opened the valve. The result was a 15 foot water spout that got the attention of our captain. Problem was, the instructor's 1st stage needed to be looked at afterwards because of all the salt water. This might get you yelled at if you are renting a reg, but if it saves your life it is worth it.


Other things to increase your chances of being noticed when missing:
- safety sausage
- signal mirror
- waterproof whistle
- dive light
- call your mom every night and tell her you're safe
- don't dive on a cattle boat
