Wow, Tally was busy this weekend.

The apparently 'coptered a guy out from JB on Saturday. He went for a chamber ride as well.



Thanks for the info.

Wow! I had never even heard of an IPE until I had one, neither had any of the doctors I saw. I am so thankful he had someone there with oxygen and to get him the help he needed.

Yes, everyone there was helpful and there were plenty of O2 bottles. Lucking in to a cardiologist getting ready to do his dive was a true godsend. We are so glad this gentleman had the sense not to continue the dive, especially in to the cave.

 

[denisegg]

Yes, you always need to trust your instincts to thumb a dive.

 

[Rescue Diver68]

I just heard from a friend of the diver who said that once they did some tests in Tallahassee they decided it was a slight cardiac event, no chamber ride and let him fly home Saturday. They said he is feeling good and no worse for wear. Good news.

 

[denisegg]

Thanks for the update. I am glad he is ok.

 

[Rescue Diver68]

The fast access to O2 may have been a very, very good thing.

 

[denisegg]

Yes, most definitely. I will carry it with me from now on. When it happened to me, I did not have any available.
