Good day,
I am reading an sci-fi book, Watermind, by M. M. Buckner. So far it is a good read. However, I had to laugh when the heroine (CJ), who has no dive experience, cons her way into renting a hazmat drysuit and gear, assembles and dons it in a canoe at night, and (at the end of a dive) with only 100 psi left in her tank, she decides to walk (backwards) out of the canal from a depth of 45 feet. But it gets better. The water, you see, is alive (sci-fi after all), and it helps CJ escape by bubbling all around her, which serves to increase her buoyancy and buoys her all the way to the surface.
