That's a really frightening story and makes me seriously reconsider my own habits of spearfishing alone due to lack of a buddy ...
Very happy for you Amphibious that you were given your life back! Somehow I probabely know how you feel now - i had 3 situations in my own life where I was extremely lucky that it didnt end right there. One was a microsleep during night driving - pretty comparable to a SWB, although there are more pre-signs for it - which made me go off the road with 80 km/h. I woke up with the car jolting through an even, muddy field beside the road, the only spot within 20 km of this country road where the accident could end totally harmless. But the shock stays in your bones, together with the feeling of your life beeing given back to you, kinda miracle...

I wonder what saved your life in this bad situation? Was it your weight belt arranged in a way that made you turn on your back once you were on the surface?

Take care and good luck,

Ivo
