The divemaster clanged his tank and signaled up. I noticed a huge black object that turned out to be Carnival s Impulse. Two in our group surfaced within 50 feet of the ship. Another diver went under the pier and ship and was picked up by another dive boat that also lost their divers under either the ship or pier. This was a dangerous situation where the divemaster lost control.
Mexican police consider divers nearby a terrorist threat.
Problems with Dive Paradise, we hear. Diving severely limited by depth and time, averaged on board with 1,300 psi, leave your computer at home. Once, they could not stop the engine so the propeller turned at 60-100 rpm while picking up divers. The prop hit one diver when the captain turned the stern of the boat into the diver. Only a minor cut.
