about 5 months ago I was diving in my lake practicing some 8 meter ditch and recovery's
i dropped everything just fine and swam to the surface.. I took a breather for a second and dove back under to retrieve my gear, my buddy holding onto it at the bottom.
i must have worked hard to get down to the bottom because i was out of air when i touched. so calmly (but rather quickly fumbled for my reg, picking up my octopus i fumbled it and it began to free flow. im at the bottom out of air and gasped and took in a bunch of water. My buddy grabbed me by the hand and gave me my reg..i stayed on the bottom and gathered my thoughts for a second before putting on my mask and everything.
morals of the story:
you can survive a little longer than you thought you could without air.
if you have a free flow, dont freak out. have a buddy help you out while you fix it.
always dive with a buddy and have fun
that to date was the closest call i've ever had with anything.
