So I'm diving in Guam, and I'm swimming along with my buddy at about 40-50 feet in clam conditions, and good visibility. There are multiple groups, and the boat that's moored to the buoy. There is a bigger family group of about 4 divers, doing their safety stop, above me on the line. I wasn't paying them much attention, (My Mistake) so I probably swam under them. Suddenly a laptop sized falling rock, dropped about a foot away from my head. I turned and looked at the group, who gave me the (Well you shouldn't of swam bellow us look), and then continued to do their safety stop like nothing happened.
I learned two things.
1. ALWAYS Look Up once up once in a while or when you are near an area, where divers are above you, or the more I think, about it, now I think I am going to try to avoid being below people incase its necessary. Because honestly, I didn't really think much of it at the time, but I could have been knocked out in the back of my head, underwater
2. And it reminded me, that sadly you can't trust that people on the dive boat are going to do normal things. I forgive you, if you have to drop weights or something. But seriously, you're going to try to bring a rock to the surface?
Who else has had similar experiences?
