This is such a great blog post we found. Let this experience be a reminder to us all. These folks were very lucky everyone made it out ok. |
Hi
Just like to share a recent dive i had leading a dive on the zenobia.
I was diving with 5 guests, 2 of which are regular posters on this site. after a great first dive on the zen, exploring the outside of the wreck, we had a decent hour and a half surface interval before the second dive. After descending, we entered the canteen and my plan was to come out through a side window. unfortunately - and totally my fault - i hadn’t briefed the others to follow me through the same window. after exiting the wreck, and realising only 3 others had followed me through, i proceded to poo in my wetsuit. fortunately, i then realised that the other 2 had exited through another door, but only after 10 minutes of searching for them inside. The need for a good briefing is absolutely essential, especially when diving in an overhead environment.
