    decrease heart rate after strong effort under water

    Be sure a heart arrhythmia is not involved. Look up Wolf Parkinson White syndrome. I had a martial arts student who experienced similar symptoms that you describe and at 15 years old he discovered he had an arrhythmia. He thought the fast beating heart was normal and it wouldn't slow down for a...

    A selfish post

    Good level headed response...I appreciate that. What struck me wrong is his first post onto a forum (PSD) that is a very serious topic asks for help with a vacation. True, it was labelled "selfish" which, I guess, makes it OK. My son is a 4 year firefighter..I love LEO's, FF's, medics and...

    When it rains it pours

    Another question...you said you grabbed the victim and took him up as soon as you got to him. What about the theme "every scene is a crime until proven otherwise"? Maybe the driver/friend really hit him with a hammer and dropped him off the boat. I realize you were at 130 feet and I find it...
