A free diver had his buoy swept away in a current, but decided to go diving without it. Mistake number one. Not listening for boats before surfacing, mistake number two. Very lucky to be alive and uninjured.
 
Way too close!
 
Glad he's ok - great that he didn't try to shift responsibility where it didn't belong.:)
 
LOL, he very narrowly escapes death and he is trying to get a stranger to go to his church! That was very scary. He was also right when he said he should have stayed under and not pulling a float is kinda crazy if you are diving without a boat supporting you.
