WOULD U DUMP YOUR GEAR AT SEA

I also saw that episode.  I would have ditched my weights for sure.  I would have kept the regs and/or belt as a lifeline to my buddy.  I also would have considered keeping my tank simply because it could help keep me upright in the water. I think their main concern with swimming was sharks.  Your run for shore may not get you very far depending on the current.
