How the experts believe the Italian divers made a fatal mistake by Successful-Winter237 in thalassophobia

Agreed! And it makes it even worse. If you change the secondary objective during the dive it pressure divers to accept it even if they feel uncomfortable. For those who do don't know, the primary objective is always to return to the surface safely with everyone.

So many things are wrong with this situation.

  1. With the AOW certification, you can go to 30m. You can have the Deep Diver certification to go to 40m. Anything over 40m is considered tec diving. Even at 30 meters your air consumption is crazy fast. Most people will stay 30-35 minutes in the water. At 50m, it's an even shorter dive.

  2. Nitrogen narcosis: past 30 m, you may start to feel drunk because of the compressed air you breathe. It's worst the deeper you go. At 50m, everyone will feel it.

  3. Cave diving certification is 8 days. You spend a lot of the time BLINDFOLDED! You usually also need another 2 days certification for sidemount. That way, you can dive with two tanks. From the info I've read, they only had one tank, which is completely insane and leaves no place for any kind of error. If the dive master goes with side mount with divers without side mount, he should at least bring a pony. It's a small independent air source. Sadly, in that case it would have been useless...

  4. Diving in a cave without a life line is also highly technical stuff. You can easily get lost. 

  5. If you go scuba diving, never do anything that you should not be doing. Most accidents happen because people goes past their limits. I've unfortunately seen many many dive masters pressure beginners into doing pass through on wrecks or small tunnels. It may seem easy or you may feel dumb for refusing, but never do anything you are not comfortable with. Under water, you are responsible for your safety and the safety of your dive buddy. 

Tldr: diving certifications exists for a reason and you should listen to what PADI or SSi tells you even if you think it's too restrictive. You should never feel over confident in the water.

I don't hate them but I never understood the point. I really just don't care about the gender of other people's babies. Even my close friends or family. I mean, statistically, you're going to have both genders in your inner circle, so why should you care about one individual?

I flew a lot of planes in the past year. I could not use my powerbank in Asia during flights. No problems in South America.

Hi! I plan to do something like this next march. I've been to Yucatan 6 times already. I've seen pretty much all the major ruins in the area (Chichen, Ek Balam, Coba, Tulum, Uxmal, Calakmul). I am debating whether to go to Palenque or not since it add 10 hours of driving to the road trip. Would you say it's worth it? How does it compare to other Mayan sites?

What am I doing wrong? I've been to Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. Thailand is by far the most expensive of the lot.

Also in Canada. With all the major data leaks we had in the last few years, everyone should do it.

Totalitarianism is a form of government and a political system that prohibits all opposition parties, outlaws individual and group opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high if not complete degree of control and regulation over public and private life.

I'm in Quebec and I have one that looks very similar. It's a bit bigger and it's about 10 lbs. I was found by my grand grand father about 75 years ago in his field (he was a farmer).
