A few weeks back I was invited to join a few of my buddies on an oil rigs dive. Everything was fun until something scary happened. Do yourself a favor, and take this free diver safety course: bit.ly/DiveSafety
On a dive, my buddy got stuck on his reel and dive bag while a fish was anchored up around a pilon. He was already low on air and couldn't cut free.
Thankfully his reel gave way and he was able to push with whatever energy he had left to get to the surface. I was trying to keep my eye on another buddy, but when I saw what was happening I was able to grab him under his armpits and keep him floating as his head rolled back.
I pinned him against a pilon until he woke up.
Things I should have done but didn't:
1. Remove his weight belt immediately
2. Dove down sooner to help him up
Oil rig diving can be dangerous because the bottom is 200+ feet deep...no one is going to get you if you sink.
Thankfully we all returned home this trip.
Stay safe and I'll see you in the water,
Jon
