Comments on: Scrambled Brains: A Previously Un-documented Diving Phenomenon http://www.undercurrent.org/blog/2010/02/24/diving-with-scrambled-brains/ Diving opinions from top diving experts in the dive industry Thu, 24 May 2012 23:45:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Skeptic http://www.undercurrent.org/blog/2010/02/24/diving-with-scrambled-brains/comment-page-1/#comment-654 Skeptic Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:07:10 +0000 http://www.undercurrent.org/blog/?p=504#comment-654 This happens regardless of age when trying to tie up the loose ends of flying back home to the states.. I smoked some killer curcacao weed a couple of hours after the very last dive of the week, and had left my camera in one of the divemasters' truck. He called up to our bungulow to ask if I'd left my camera in his truck and I was so blasted that (thinking he was referring to an Underwater Camera)I literally insisted, "No problem, dude.. I don't have one.) When I came to my senses I was able to reconcile the situation and recover the camera. Lesson: a week of diving/sobriety can exacerbate what would normally be simply a mildly serindipitous feeling of high expectation. p.s I've never dived high, and won't, but am curious to hear of those who have.

I am now the proud owner of the world's most expensive xD picture card that I had to purchase in Cayman because "I must have left those cards on my desk at home and forgotten to pack them".

Add exhaustion from a long, multi-leg day and even young people can "forget". And it's not just seniors--a school teacher once told me about all those young perfect minds she had--couldn't even remember their coats.... Thanks for making many more aware of this. I've found a few extra minutes unpacking, etc. goes a long way, rather than just throwing things into whatever space. Anyone who has experienced jet lag will recognize the symptoms above.
