WOULD U DUMP YOUR GEAR AT SEA

[arcFlash]

Well now that it's 50/50 lets add in the type of BC, We all think jacket but the reality is many of us use a back plate. I only own the AL backplace so if it was that close of a call I could alway take the air cell off the plate and reuse the tank bands to strap the cell to a leg and an arm. That way I still have the  flotation with as little drag as possible.

For as the sharks. A sailor once told me the sharks out at see eat anything but the closer to shore the more food the less likely they are to taste people so I'd still take may chances with a swim. Waiting hours or days for rescue that may not come is too depressing.
