Eventually we are all our own worst enemies. While on the PDF clinic in Miami, and talking to the people who had sambas and BO's, one thing that struck me was how comfortable along with a feeling of "it's not happening to me" people felt - in other words it was very difficult fr the mind to have a clear grasp of what really was happening. I guess that's the effect of hypoxia. When you said you couldn't expell that air do you think it was due to laryngospasm (sp?)?
I guess you have just proven to yourself the value of having an experienced buddy! Chasing pretty fish can also happen in the shallows in fact you might have even more confidence, stay too long and blackout regardless of the depth.
Nice story and very expressivley written. Should be published.
It would be interesting to hear Connor's side of the story, what his impressions were. And most importantly, thanks for hanging around a little more on Mother Earth, err.. Mother Ocean!
