A dive almost gone wrong. My first dive in Switzerland and my most educational and impressive dive up to date.
A wreck dive, the signature dive of this lake. In 85 degrees we change into full drysuit with everything on top and underneath. I am short of breath and my heart is pounding. I have difficulty getting under and have to put stones in my vest pocket for extra weight. My regulator breathes funny and lets in water. My maskdoes so as well. I push on, I have try and tackle these problems, until I panick and all I want to do is go up. I have never experienced this, I can not get myself to calm down. On the wreck I almost go into deco, I have difficulty letting air out of the suit. With great difficulty, the divemaster I dive with get's me to make a slow ascend along the bottom to the exit point. Afterwards we talk about it at great length and at night the images haunt me. You can't train for this. Another step closer to being an experienced diver. A big thanks to the skills of Manfred Hug for not letting me drown.
