I had to make an emergency dive to free a prop from steel cable. I didn't have my suit or my tanks but the boat had a compressor and hookah rig.
I figured it's Florida, even in winter I can handle a fast swim.
They hauled me out by the safety line after about 10 minutes. I was in my 20s and in prime condition but water sucks the heat out of your body, and fast.
I got the cable cleared, but that was all she wrote for me.
I sure hope I'm smarter now, LOL
Maybe those Yankee folks can handle it better, I sure couldn't!
Glad you're still around to tell the tale!

In this John Bryson photograph, Katharine Hepburn is coming out of the icy surf of Long Island Sound on a bitterly cold day in February, running toward Fenwick, her beloved family home. All we see is her back, but we can tell she's fit and hardy, this octogenarian, fresh from her daily swim and waving her towel like a flag.
