Good rescue! What you did without knowing it was a "rescue". You realized that the dive was out of your limits (on that day). You did the smart thing and called it off. No two ways about it....you rescued yourself! So what do most people do after a rescue, they analyze it and and try to improve for the next time. Find out what caused you to almost panic (your fitness ability, conditions, equipment, dive buddies, psychological etc..) and do everything in your power not to let it happen again.
I know you feel bad about the whole situation...but at least you can feel something; your alive and well! You probably would have felt much worst if you'd decided to continue the dive and something bad (to you or other divers) would of happened.
A job well done in my books!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
