Diving Knife
Do you need a diving knife when you are skin diving?
I can understand that if you go scuba diving that you might need a knife because you are down there so long, but when you are skin diving you are only underwater a couple of minutes. Do you need a knife when you are skin diving? If so give me some advice on what kind I should get. Thanks
It would be a good idea to have one with you when you are doing any type of diving. I've used mine to cut fishing line at 15ft all the way down to cutting an old net at 80ft. It's also darn useful to have when you are tying stuff down and have to cut the ropes. I have found the blunt nose ones to work best for me as I don't risk poking holes in my drysuit with them. Here's a link for the one I use now that I like fairly well.

It took a while to get here, swimming in the ocean as a way to get better. I was tired of eating every two days. Just can not get me to do a run or a hike. And I'd be missing the ocean as well. thinking I might have a brief working visit and get a quick exit, I went for a short swim.
Before I knew it, I'm going three times a week for over a month. Making it a strong swim without resting. And I could not see, really see new lines, new shadows on the body I had not seen for a long time. Then, I decided. That would be my new way of developing. Two to three times a week, I swim for 20-30 minutes (Of course, I timed). And we'll see.
Shortly after the first month, I watched Jaws on TV one night. And then, just later in the same night, I watched "Shark Attack" on Animal Planet. Oh, baby. That was it. Scared me mad all over again. But I built my swim. I can not stop now. So what do I do? Uh-huh. out my sharp knife and diving strap my right calf.
Now I'm standing on the shore again, the heating for swimming. My dive knife is on my leg and I do not feel much better. Come. I know I stand little chance against a shark. Shoot. absolute chance is better that way. Man, I'm afraid. I swam more than 10 minutes right on the ocean, then back again. Just me. But I have to. I just can not stop. Fear, well, in this case, just pisses me off! So I tied my hair back, a few steps from the ocean and dive under. There's sweat to be here in this blue water.
This beautiful U-shaped bay in the smallest village south of a tiny tropical island just above the equator, whew!, Well, it's my very large pool. On the rare occasions water is clear and blue. The visibility is about 30 feet. A clear day today. did not liked at all. Many days drier these days (everybody global warming?). No recent influx of sediment and all kinds of garbage and debris brought from the mountain burned and deposited in the ocean. reefs and coastal marine life to enjoy a few days of "clean air". It is painful knowing that all he needed was a good rain to make the water bright blue drab and dirty looking again. And while I do not want the land needs of more rain.
I am almost at the halfway point. Keep the pace steady. kick flip underwater and the wall is the ocean and head back to shore. Be sure to keep a little boost in my stride. I think if a shark actually attacks me, I do not want to just go down. Oh, no. I will not let a shark punch me in my life, my family. If I'm going down, baby, you come with me. And that is why I have a sharp knife diving.
I stopped swimming for a while simulating an attack against me, the pounding in my head that I must remember seize the knife, no matter what. Pound her nose. whim if I have to. Jam my fingers in both eyes. Shove my hand in its gills. Oh, yeah. It will not be easy. I am equally aware that swimming alone in the ocean have managed to survive a shark encounter. If it comes to that, it will I.
Now I'm halfway to the halfway house. The last minutes of the home stretch. Made it again. I'll tell you, I jumped a boat in the most clear blue water, way, out into the ocean. hundreds of meters on a sunny day with not a thing in sight, above or below water. There is nothing like him and few things come close. And no matter how scared I go and I fear often fear has no chance. I will not allow it. There's just too much beauty in the natural world. Too much experience for that. Really, really wonderful and amazing. I am so grateful that I know.
