Michael,
You say that these are cave diving rules...
I find it odd that you would say that a couple of these apply to
Rec diving. Could you clarify how this is so.
>G uideline - Guidleline, always use a continuous guideline
This can only apply to Wreck/cave, Not Rec.
>A ir - Air supply, always use rule of 1/3's
I thought this was for OE, Not Rec... unless you consider kelp to be OE.
>L ights - Always use primary plus 2 back ups..
That again sounds like OE.
Could you clarify how these apply to non-OE diving. Ya know, OE
diving is extremely rare in CA. Just look how far you travel to find
it.
Also, just to clarify...
>D epth - Never exceed your comfort level with respect to depth
Shouldn't that be comfort level or safe depth.
Just trying to help out, seahunt
