Maybe you don't feel confident in the water, and that is coloring your response?
At any rate, drowning is no joke. One bong hit of water and you're done as far as fending for yourself. You are going down. It's an awful way to die and I would risk nearly all to save anyone from it.  |
Precisely Dennis. I try to get as much training as I can in anything I'm doing. I never want to be in a situation where I have to watch a fellow man die because I wasn't able to at least attempt to help. As soon as I learned to dive I went on for my rescue cert, so I would know how to get someone out of danger and administer oxygen etc.
