Hi All,
It's been a while since I've visited this forum, far too long actually! I used this forum to help with my introduction to spearfishing and freediving and it's in my opinion one of the best resources available to any budding diver!
It is with great sadness that I let everyone know that my closest dive buddy broke his c4-c5 roughly 2.5 weeks ago and is at present a quadriplegic in the spinal ward at the Austin hospital in Melbourne Australia. He had 2 lots of surgery and after the second time under the knife the surgeons were much happier about the result and said there is a good chance he will walk again.
At present he has very little movement below the neck, but as time goes on we are all hoping and praying that the shock from the trauma will subside allowing him more movement and hopefully again one day to dive the way he used to!
Dave is not a forum member, however when finger movement and dexterity return I will give him the link to get on here and introduce himself at his own speed.
Jono
