No one tried to drag her to the surface.
alicia5272000:I .. was only ascending as fast as my computer told me too. He kept motioning for me to go faster but i listened to my computer. Because he kept motioning I started going up faster until my computer started beeping at me. So I slowed down within my computers range. He then grabbed my hand and started pulling me up. It really freaked my out because my computer beeped and said "ascent too fast". I pulled my hand out of his grasp. He grabbed my hand 2-3 times more and I kept pulling my arm out of his grasp. ... Finally they back off and I try to do a safety stop. Within about a minute they are motioning for me to come up. I then sense someone behind me and could feel him grabbing my gear because I felt a pull.
Dunno, neither of us were there, but you seem pretty positive about what happened. From the OP, it sure sounds like someone was physically pulling her to the surface.
I tend to doubt that the OP had any more skills in operating her computer or managing her dive than she had in operating her BCD. I suspect she should be thanking her buddies rather than criticizing them.
Once again, I'm not sure why this new diver is being flamed, and your assumption is that her account of what happened is wrong.
I mean, sometimes a new diver comes in here dripping with attitude and it makes sense to give them some perspective. But this sure doesn't seem to be one of those cases. It seems like she was pushed into an ascent rate violation (one of the few objective facts that we have, recorded on her computer), and it seems like her buddy - whatever his diving skills were - didn't pay much attention to her as a new diver or as a buddy until the ascent. Not sure why so many people in this thread automatically assume that the buddy was doing things perfectly and that the OP was so terrible.
