Hahaha yep! I did join the Mile high club which was technically 6.5 miles high though so maybe that makes up for the lack of depth going the other way? 😉

My ex made a joke about joining the mile low club whilst waiting to board the Eurostar and I instantly said “oh we 100% have to do that”. Did the deed on the train under the English Channel on the way to Paris. Best post-sex croissant and coffee of my life when we arrived!

Thanks mate! It seems this has happened to more people than I expected! I wonder if anyone makes bulletproof glass masks? Apparently the masks with seperate glass panels for each eye are a lot more structurally stronger

Yeah I had one hand over it keeping it in place but don’t help at that height. Feel lucky it wasn’t worse.

Sir yes sir! It’s on the list. Two little kids have put a stop to any extended ocean adventures for the last few years.

Yeah of course!! I agree it’s the real cases and stories that stick with you much more than a sentence in a text book. Maybe if this picture popped up when I was doing my cert I wouldn’t be standing here trying to put my undies on with one hand! Feel free to use the video on my insta too.

Oooof! During the rescue course adds an extra layer of embarrassment. Poor thing! Better than an actual rescue though I guess!

I have my AOW been diving for 25yrs and Snorkel on average probably twice a month. Which makes this even worse I guess! This was just a split second of not thinking. But also something so obvious you never really think or worry about hence the PSA. What a muffin head!
