Okay, so I just started diving and was going out on my first live aboard at Bull Shoals Lake- I had done my cert dives, plus 2 others in Mexico a few weeks before- total beginner. There were four instructors and seven divers- most beginners. Last day of trip- I tossed my gear in the water (I have rods in my back from spinal fusions and find it very hard to put it on on land), swam over to it, pulled it on...and my shoulder dislocated. Started screaming to high heaven (this had never happened before) and was very lucky that one of the instructors had just come up and was next to me. They pulled me back to the boat, managed to secure my arm while I was still in the water, lifted me out on a sleeping bag, headed into the dock and the EMTs took me to the hospital and put it back in. The worst part? My boyfriend had just given me a brand new Henderson stretch wetsuit for my b-day the night before- I wore it for ONE DIVE that morning...and the EMTs had to cut it off of me! I know now that my gear was overinflated and if I had just let it sink in the water I wouldn't have had such a tough time getting it on. Just wanted to share my story...I still feel pretty dumb about the whole thing. The suit is now in three pieces in my garage- and I was so excited about it...
