You can make anything dangerous! "Our sport" is very safe if you get the training, experience, and plan your dive and never dive over your skill level! All lesions that should have been listened to before they entered the water, the wreck, or took the next chance with their lives!

Wow!!!

As much grief as he gives himself (probably unavoidable in that situation), the fact that he went back into the wreck to search for his friend says a lot.

Wow!!!

Exactly

Wow is right:11::11::11:

Question about panic though. The writer said that he was in full blown panic. Can one recover from this?

He did recover. He thought about how to get out, and when he got out, he tied off going back in, etc. All that says he was still thinking.

I must say, when I read the sentence where they said John was on board, I started crying myself. What a story! I'm glad you both survived.

I remember getting chills when I first read this, and thought it was a superbly written cautionary tale. You don't have to have the intentions of doing a complex dive to end up in a complex situation, and none of us truly knows how he or she will react until we're there.

No second guessing -- It was generous of Gareth to share the experience. I'm sure he and Jon learned some invaluable lessons about themselves and about diving from it, and I hope some of that has rubbed off on me, dim second-hand echo thought it may be.

A story everyone must read.....griping and chilling, full of lessons to be remembered.

Dangerous attitude?

never dive over your skill level!

Hope that works for you, for me it doesn't always feel so black or white at times......

So...funny how the F word is like a reflex, huh?
