Buddy Line (Poll)

Hi all,

I'm about to investigate the pros and cons of using a buddy line on a
scientific basis. In the first step I need to acquire as much data as
possible. So I'd be glad if you could post your opinion and experience
by answering the two questions below.

The only purpose of this poll is to collect as much ideas as possible,
so at this point your level
certification or experience doesn't matter.

Thanks in advance,

Andre

P.S. Please: I don't want to raise a quarrell or endless discussions
about this matter. Whether your answers prove to be correct would have
to be tested under precisely defined conditions.

-----------------------

1. Under what circumstances do you think a buddyline could improve
safety?

2. In what kind of other situations and under what circumstances do you
consider a buddy line of 1.5m (5ft) up to 2m (6.5ft) to be dangerous?

Zero visibility in a situation where getting separated might be fatal.

Zero visibility in a situation where a line between buddies might snag on
something in a way that might be fatal.

If said line were in any way attached to either diver. Line must be
simply held by each diver in a way that it could be dropped immediately
if need be, such as in an entanglement.

Now, about your methodology..... Why is experience or level of
certification unimportant? What is your question, and what is your
hypothesis? How will you test it? Could you plese share with us your
methods?

Luann thinks she's an expert on research.

None.

There is no reason to tie yourself to another diver, ever, beyond
emergency.

Any time you can't exhibit an unusually -profound- and --immediately
urgent- reason, perhaps as in the case of in assisting an injured diver in a
current, or overhead.

Furthermore, my answers are always correct, at least for me, usually for
the majority, and I don't care if they're correct for you, and we'll quarrel
about whatever we damn well please.

Unfortunately, crabs only remove the flesh... Gators, on the other
hand, eat the bones... Nasty little digestive juices that have... One

random area off Whakatane and no-ones likely to find them :P
