One of the saddest things I've ever seen was two guys walking out with a brand new Brownies compressor/Float set up. The compressor was running and they were ready to dive. They were in about waist deep water when a wave came in, they were each hanging on to a handle when it flipped. Water doesn't compress so I imagine the engine and compressor bent some internals when they flooded.
