The student was with the class, at appx 15ft. (safety stop). The instructor (and class) said that the Vic didn't exhibit any signs of panic, but suddenly went limp, and sank to about 20ft before the instructor could get there. The insturctor (who might be bent as well) ascended (too) quickly with the Vic, and screamed for help upon surfacing.

Again, the other students mentioned that the Vic was not comfortable in the pool, which makes me wonder about the wisdom of bringing the Vic out into the Ocean...

Good luck w/ your instructor course!
