Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
He is an independent insurance adjuster in his "day job," and a very good one by those I know who have used him.

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
Rok, If you want an in water O2 rig, and have space for a T or other bulk O2 bottle on the boat, e-mail me. I can put something together pretty fast as I have most of the fittings in hand in MS.

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
Bristle worms live under things, or nestled in amongst the barnacles and oysters on the structure. More common on rigs over a high sand or sandy clay bottom.

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
Danglies on an oil rig festooned with fishing lines and nets = inevitable entanglement in the low vis murk.

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
By the description you are now "inside the loop."
NEVER get inside the loop!

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
A single large fish is the general rule. If snapper or ling are up shallow it may be possible to get 2 or more. Generally its bounce to 100, see what's under you on one or two breaths, then a single...

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
Another problem I've seen is diving with too much cable. The gun should have enough cable to make your farthest expected accurate shot, and not more. I prefer two turns around both cable anchors. I...

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
I prefer steel singles in the ~100 SCF range to minimize total weight on the boat, but I've done lots of dives with old 72s, up to 3 drops per tank with 72s, 4 or more with 100s
Lots of rig divers...

I'll use a BC if the shaft is through skull, but not if it's though body meat.

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
I use as much as I can get on a single tank wing. Do a search for "bristle worm" and you'll find a post explaining why. I used both a bat-wing and a stab jacket before they wore out, about 15 years...

Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die
1. Slipping the loop of your riding rig over our wrist, instead of your thumb.
