Yeah man, I was just thinking about the fact that if I didn't descent as fast as I did, or if she had another pound of weight in her vest, or anything to put her another 15 more feet below me, I wouldnt have been able to get to her, I would have had to watch the light fade down into nothing, and surface and tell them what happend... After 130 feet, breathing Nitrox it woulda been suicide to go any further down. Must have been some reason god spared her...

As far as being thanked like I read in one of the stories above this, her and her husband came and shook my hand and said thank you so very much, that was about it though :P

First dive I ever made was 135 feet. No certification...no lessons.

I haven't saved any lives, but I have identified a few corpses.

But that was on Air, I've heard of people going to 240ft on air... DEFINITELY not safe, but possible.

How was that Nitrogen Narcosis my man?

Only 5 minutes.... no narco.... straight down....followed by about 30 cuda's... (why we dove there)...and back up. The rest of the time was lobstah lobstah lobstah.

Night dives are the BOMB though!

crazy stories I'm sure I've bee that drunk at some point in my life or at least close. I'm not bragging but it's the truth. Never been in a situation where I had to save a life I guess this is the closest I have to that.

I am driving my regular route on my job deep in the mountains where the ski resorts are. First of all I drive it almost everyday so I'm familiar with the area and I'm coming down the mountain it's very slick and about halfway down there is a van next to me she just bought thje van so she wasn't used to drivin it and it was the same as mine: really long but empty so there was no weight she hits a patch of ice and her van turns 90 degrees right in front of me and she was heading straight into the gaurdrail which than goes down a cliff into oncoming traffic and than another larger cliff. Well as soon as she spun out I knew I was going to have to hit her cause I couldn't stop so I looked behind me and saw there was nobody behind me which was lucky because it's a 3 lane highway and usually there is huge semis all over the place. I just got as far over to the left as I could so I could angle it so I hit her right in the front and angle her back towwards the mountain instead of the guard rail and we both just coasted to the side of the road my bumper was behind my front wheels and it was totaled I think her's was probably okay after some body work. Anyways, I don't know what would have happened if there had been other trucks behind us because I wouldn't have been able to knock her back the way I did and would have hit her randomly and possibly hit her over the rail or something. Cops were already there we just passed em too so they saw everything.

Back on topic though - I've been reading all the stories, I really don't have the place to comment on them though..

I also think I saved my families life once.My moms straight up alcoholic ex boyfriend was driving us to like the chinese buffet or somewhere to eat.He's drunk off his ass swerving all over the road I had to grab the wheel twice to keep from riding up the curb lol.And if that wasn't enough a can of ETHER! randomly starts leaking in the back and its stinking up the whole van and we could barely breath.This dick head then try's to light a fucking ciggarette in this rolling bomb just waiting for a spark to set it off.I took that cigg out his mouth and chucked it out the window and made him pull over.We fight and he gets his ass kicked lol so we just walked the rest of the way to the buffet and he goes to the bar which was right next to where we pulled over lol that was a weird coincidence.He ended up getting arrested later that night to for disorderly conduct or something like that.
I dont know what would of happened if we stayed in the van with that scumbag I just know it wouldn't of been good.

I have never saved a life, but our dog did once.

An eldery neighbor was walking to the mailboxes down the street at about dusk to get his mail when he had a stroke and fell over in the street. The street was a cul de sac, so traffic was not his worry, rather it was lack of traffic. No one would have noticed him there and he would have likely froze before someone did the nexct morning.

But our dog barked on and on and on and we had no idea why. My parents looke dout the window and noticed him, called an ambulance (they were also on the emergency squad, so were able to help him until they arrived).

Funny how the animals just know sometimes....like being the first ones to run inland before a tidal wave and shit like that

our cows come out of the woods and go into the barn 20-30 minutes before it rains, every single time. animal's instincts are insane.

There are SO many stories of dogs saving lives, or knowing when shit is about to go down.
