WOULD U DUMP YOUR GEAR AT SEA

[flyboy65]

Didn't they do that in the movie "Open Water"?  I don't remember for sure.

I most certainly wouldn't, unless my tanks were totally out of air.  But even so, you could manually inflate your BCD...so...it doesn't make much sense. 

The only reason I could see, was that they decided to start swimming.  Or swim against a current...it had to so something with swimming.  Much easier w/o the bulk, huh?...any kind of exposure suit, for the most part, would provide some kind of buoyancy in the ocean, wouldn't it?  even a 2 or 3 mil?
