Scuba diver pulls out dive knife and stabs skydiver. End of battle.



Scuba diver can't dive fast enought to catch skydiver. Tie.

100 skydivers vs. 100 scuba divers in a fight to the death..who will win?? Don't be bias!




Depends on the exit altitude and the LZ.

12,500' over the desert and the skydivers are in fat city ~ 10' over the Pacific...not so much! :ph34r:

Throw a few skydivers out of a boat without scuba gear..... good chance to survive for at least 60 seconds.

Throw a few scuba divers out of a plane without rigs..... and 60 seconds later there's some used scuba gear on the market....

For a proper comparison, have a few skydivers get out of submarine at 150 ft, and see how well they survive ;)

if I had my choice of a freefall with no rig or a free ascent from 150', hmmm - let me think about that one
Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

Why skydiving is tougher than scuba diving:

-You don't get a snorkel.

-Boats are cheaper than planes.

-There ain't no shallow end of the pool in skydiving.

-Scuba divers have at least as long as they can hold their breath to fix their problems. Most bag locks aren't that patient.

-It's humanly impossible to tread air until help arrives.


There, that should settle the debate.:P:P:P

I teach both. Skydivers win. You'll rarely see a "sport" like scuba, where so many people are overweight and out of shape - you don't have to be in good shape to be suspended in water - in the Caymans, they'll even carry your gear to the end of the boat, dress you, and push you into the water. Think of the fat people in the movie "Wall-E" - that about describes many scuba divers I know.

OTOH, I'd rather hang out with scuba divers - they aren't a bunch of assholes, like many skydivers are.

And the scube guys leave a lot more people under the waves than we leave up in the sky!



I actually witnessed this at a DZ once:

Mother of first-jump student anxiously looking up at the sky:
"Oh, I hope he gets down OK!"

Crusty old-timer with Southern drawl:
"Don't worry ma'am; He'll get down OK; We ain't never left nobody up there yet."

:D
