Does anyone know any information on underwater black holes i read an
article once in a diver mag and it was described as large wholes under
the water about 40 -60 feet down that you and sink in and you feel
waitless and excluded from the water it intrigued me if anyone knows
what these are please let me know.

Never heard them called "black holes", but maybe:

Larger bodies of water stratify into layers of different density,
primarily salinity and/or temperature. Currents, winds, air temp and
other factors can cause inversions, ie a heavy layer floating on a light
layer. These layers can achieve stasis by punching a hole and flowing
through, either upward or down.

In some lakes (where it is called "rolling over"), this can be quite
violent.

I suspect he's thinking of blue holes and, as you know, those that have they
buoyancy right, always feel weightless under water.

Possibly. I've been encountering a lot of semi-opaque holes lately, but
then I upped my Alzheimer's meds....

No Lee, he didn't say "weightless", he said "waitless", as in everything
happens at once...sounds pretty cool and it would take a black hole to do it.

"Dear Mr. Irvine VII:

"Will the Halcyon(TM) backplate and wings make me more streamlined when tech
diving in black holes or does the space/time continuum negate superior
Halcyon(TM) performance and allow me to wear my Transpac for comfort?"

Good way of cutting down surface intervals...

They are neutrally bouyant bubbles of Nitrogen gas, at this depth the water
pressure keeps them stationary in the water,
preventing them rising to the surface.

Entering should only be done wearing some sort of underwater breathing
equipment like a long hosepipe , as they are dangerous and they can  lead to
a condition called nitrogen gullibility, the main symptom of which is belief
in their existance.

A large whole? What, all of it?

And waitless? It happens immediatly?

Excluded from the water?

You must be smoking some strong stuff.......

Pete,

Before we get to your questions, let's start with narceddiver's
statement.

First of all, if you are an experienced diver, you would have dived
in many different Blue holes (most common).  But there are holes of
many different colors.  In Cay Sal Bank alone, you have Blue Holes,
Red Holes, and holes of ohter colors.

http://makeashorterlink.com/?R5A831889

There are many different ways to encounter BLACK holes.

The easiest way is to do a night dive on a night with a dark sky.
Enter one of these holes without a light.  Voila, a BLACK hole.

But wait!

narceddiver wasn't talking about the COLOR of the hole.  He was
talking about the Black Hole which have baffled physicists,
astrophysicists for decades.

narceddiver apparently wants to dive in such a Black Hole!!

Of cousre a prerequisite to be in a Black Hole is to achieve
a SPEED approaching 186,000 miles per second, and near infinite
MASS, etc. and shrink into an invisible diver with infinitessimal
volume.


> A large whole? What, all of it?

A whole Black Hole!  Not only that, but a large one, which is
infinitely rarer than a small one.

> And waitless? It happens immediatly?

You got the right idea.  When you are travelling near the speed
of light, you can go through ALL the check-out counters of K-mart
and Walmart combined in the world, in less than a second.  Now
THAT is waitless.

> Excluded from the water?

You bet!  Everything disappears in a Black Hole.  Water is no
exception.  You are definitely excluded from it.

Any other questions?

> You must be smoking some strong stuff.......

Smoke??  What smoke?   He was sniffing all the laughing gas he
could steal from the dentist's office, and he thought he was
NARCED.

I haven't. Never been near one.

All in all that means that since you're wrong with this (experience=blue
hole diving), then anything else you have to say must be suspect.
Therefore your credibility equals zero.

I'll take that into consideration if you ever show up here again to
offer advice.

Did Jesus ever actually GO diving? I thought he had a problem with excess
bouyancy making descent impossible?

Sounds like the ideal rescue diver. Your posts have a problem with bouyancy,
they float to the top.

Only his feet were buoyant.  That's why God invented Jet Fins.

No, it's nothing to do with "Black Holes" in space, because he stated
"underwater". Keep up, FFS.

Really, Pete?  You mean "underwater" has no space?

You and that Canuck Brian Nitwitty should enroll in a course in
Black Hole Humor 101 to help you ascend from the abyss of your
lifeless existence.

I dunno Pete from a Black Hole in the ground, but I think Brian is probably
too busy hanging out with his IRL serious diver friends to worry about your
lifeless existence,  Boob.

Then why did Brian the Nitwit read part of my post, made some
impertinent and humor-impaired remarks, and said,

No big deal. I threw out a little bait and he took it all, hook, line
and sinker. Waaayy too easy. I miss Spencer, at least he put up a good
fight.

Anybody know who this f.cking Reefguy is anyway? Does he dive?

Nah, this Reefguy doesn't know how to dive.  All he does is pop
in here to talk about guns and politics, make impertinent posts
and kick Clueless Newbies' a.ses, like those of Alan Street and
Brian Nitwit.

Hope the above helps.

You'll find her in Biloxi.
