Not a nice feeling when you surface and theres no boat.
Even worse when it starts to rain and you get wet!

I clearly know nothing about diving - I'd have thought you were already wet... :shock:
As I pushed them up the rope more and more slack kept coming down.
The greatest trajedy of science, the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
