Unhappy Re: 100 Ways for a Rig Diver to Die

just a couple of comments .. Louis mentioned that he doesn't put air in his bc a the surface.. that is generally true for most who are after big fish.. air in the bc is not an advantage when you have a large not quite dead fish under a rig. You have to be able to go up and down without worrying about increasing or decreasing your buoyancy. Most of the time you are not dictating which way you are going..so neutral or negative are advantages.. as far as the accident no one will ever truly know but the more likely culprit would be AGE.. gas embolism.. come-on fast at or near the surface and is fatal.. can occur with as little as three feet change of depth near surface.. gator
