A bunch of us were diving Casino Point yesterday. Suddenly someone from the water screamed, "Call 911!" One of our group is a nurse and ran down to the steps. A woman was pulled out. Our nurse/diver claimed she had a pulse. When the paramedics arrived (and they get there fast!), she had turned blue, they had to cut away her bathing suit/gear and began chest compressions. She ended up going to the chamber.
We asked around to figure out what happened. Here's what we were able to gather. The woman got tangled in one of the kelp beds and panicked. During her panic, she spit out her regulator. Her DM saw what happened and popped the reg back in her mouth, but she spit it out again.
One of our members of the group asked the Harbor Master later for an update. He reported back to us that the woman was still in the Chamber and she should live.
She may live, but I doubt she'll ever dive again...
But it really impacted me hearing this and seeing it...makes me remember how careful we have to be when diving.
