I have not been diving in two years, I cant fit in my wet suit anymore so could not...well, breathe my suit was so tight, even though we had Nitrous. Not sure why we were using Nitrous tanks on a 20 foot dive, I was using provided tanks. I was bobbing like a cork unable to achieve neutral buoyancy despite picking up all the rocks my BC could hold. Visibility was about two feet with a strong current in a congested boating area. That, on top of being out of shape, led to me having to "Suck out". So....I got drunk. Not a total loss, I made the right decision, but it bummed me out! I prefer WARM open water dives with unlimited visibility and a guide. So I'm spoiled. So what.
