HAHA, thanks Tony, it was much more rivetting in person  Grin



... As soon as I heard him kick it in gear I knew what would happen... I felt my hose come immediately tight, and took one more big breath.......

.......... as the hose wrapped around the propeller... cutting off my only air supply at 70'(compressed air mind you)...  Not good.

... Now when you dive compressed air at depth, your body absorbs nitrogen gas into your bloodstream... not dangerous at depth, but if you come up too quickly(like if you ran out of air lol)... the bubbles come out of solution, rupture blood vessels internally.... sometimes resulting in death...  Grin

... again, was a long, painful rise to the surface...  beginning to see a patern at this point...  Grin  climbed aboard the boat for a "discussion" about moving with divers down.... before re-entering the water to try and salvage the hoses from the prop...

.

My first question would be...  why are you down 70ft on a vessel air with no bail out bottle. 

You are correct sir... would have been a much safer idea  Wink  ...although we were diving within our deco limits, I still usually do a safety stop... which obvously was impossible in this instance... I was able to mantain a proper ascent however, thank God I'm a freediver  Grin

... if you think that was dangerous... HAHA... I've done much, much dumber chit over the years you would have a field day with...  Shocked Grin
