Planning. Bring the future into 'now' so you can affect it. "What do I have to do?" I hear Kevin Hogan screaming now " Do, no! get it done!" The voices in my head are loud!
Long a go when I was getting my SCUBA qualified. The phrase was "Plan your Dive, dive your plan." Simple, yeah right. Sixty feet down on a wreck I got distracted. Failed to follow the 'plan'. Ok, Steve get ready to wince.
The only air underwater is what you bring. It is measured in PSI, basically pounds(.5 Kg) of air. Tank holds 2,000.
Safety is you hit 500 it is time to start heading up. Tim, was young and stupid. Ready, I had 5 PSI left in my tank!!!!!
Major suckage.
Signaled the Dive Master(guy in charge) I was surfacing. Proceeded to do a 'Emergency Assent' Straight up, no stopping. Why is this a big deal? It is called the 'bends' It hurts a great deal and if bad enough you die in agony.
Worst of all I would not pass the course!!!
"If you fail to plan you have planned to fail." Have a good plan then follow it and get feedback(look at gauges!)
I lived and got my rating. (never gonna screw up like that again!)
