When I was still figuring it out, I tried to launch my tandem with my buddy at Hospitals because "the kelp was really close" and we were going spearfishing. Paddled into some five foot barrels over the reef and fully pitchpoled. My buddy was sitting up front and he flew right over my head by about six feet. We lost some carbon fins, two masks, two snorkels, and about $80 worth of lead weights.
Another time, I tried to take my wife kayak diving when it was heavy, and she almost killed me for yelling "just paddle harder" right before we rolled the boat. That was the most dangerous thing I've ever done, at least as far as my dignity and healthy relationship are concerned, and why we call it the divorce boat to this very day.
Been in a dinghy with lighting bolts touching down one time. That sucked.
