* The following day, I would recall more of this experience. While ascending from a 50-foot deep coral head, upon reaching the surface, I had a 10-15 second memory launch itself into my consciousness. I remembered – a samba. The memory fit into the moment after I had reached the surface, but before I blacked out. I saw light-dark-light-dark, and my lungs were contracting at a rate of 3+ times per second. But I can not breathe in. Worse yet, I can not expel the air I’ve now been holding for over 2.5 min. I remember the panic, but no pain. I wonder how long it will take this to pass….
