Re:team diving skills
By no means an expert on team diving, and I beleive it was aluded too, but proximity is important. If I am a long distance away from my buddy, it is much easier to get seperated, and much harder to respond quickly to a problem. Even with making eye contact every 30 seconds, alot can happen in 30 seconds and if you have a long swim to your buddy, the chance for a happy ending has decreased. I like to be close enough to my buddy that if I want/need to, I can reach out and touch them. Silt out? I may not be able to see my hand in front of my face, but I can reach over and touch them to know they are OK, and if I pause my breathing I can hear theirs. I had a buddy that stayed so close to me that I had a hard time lifting my arm to vent my drysuit. After the dive he apoligized and said that he just likes to be close. I informed him that was exactly what I wanted from my buddy.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.
