the worst being if they bolt for the surface without knowing what you did (like they wake up after you stop).

can this cause barotrauma?
how ever you would perform CPR underwater is a mystery! what happens when you blow air into the victim and he breathes...
a nice gallon of seawater for his first breath intake - he will love you for sure!
