You've already gotten good advice of calling DAN, etc.,. For future reference, I wanted to add that you should only do an emergency ascent if you have an issue - not because someone else has one - unless you are that person's buddy or your assistance is critical. Otherwise, do a controlled ascent and safety stop (if possible) and meet up at the surface.Hey divers,
I just had my first open water dive (PADI) and we had a to make an emergency ascent because one of the students panicked. I didn't pay too much attention to my breathing but don't think I held my breath. We came from around 5m/18ft.
Either way, after the dive I'm feeling a little light headed and have been experiencing some chest discomfort/pressure beneath my sternum. The dive was about 3hours ago.
Should I be worried?
Your advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Good luck and I hope you are OK.
