John, basically what happened was he was in a compartment below me in the wreck, which is upside down. When I realized I had no air left i tried to get his attention but he was facing away. about 20 feet below me. I waved my light to try to get him but he didnt see it. By time he got back up to me. I had no air at all and was holding my breath I was starting to get lightheaded . I bolted for his octopus, grabbed it and took a nice gulp of water with my air. Which didnt help. Biggest problem was I still had to go about 30 ft and squeeze through tight spots to get outside the wreck. I tried to calm down. took a few more shots of air and started going out. By time I got to the outside of the wreck, I was gettin dizzy I thought for sure I was gonna black out. When he came out behind me , he shoved his reg in my mouth I took half a breath and more water. Now I freaked and panicked I dropped all my gear , my goody bag, my light. I shot up the anchor line, I knocked other divers off it. I got to the suface and prety much had to get "rescued" I didnt even inflate my bc. or drop my weights. It wasnt a pretty sight.
Worst part was when I had to get back in the water to do the decomm stop i missed.
