I am not sure how to explain this - mostly because it was treated as irrelevant by the instructor and the other divers. So, I have a feeling that I am over-reacting.
But, here goes:
I was invited to be "the victim" in a Rescue class , but ended up doing the exercises also. At some point, we were doing an exercise when you had to share air with a diver that was tired and panicking. I was getting tired too, for real, and my partner was a bit clumsy, so when I was given the octopus I choked, and pretty hard. I did what is usual, grabbed the regulator and coughed. However the choking was so bad that the air didn't seem to be enough. I still tried, but realised there was no point in fainting or so in a pool, and ended the exercise.
The octopus in question was then experimented, and nobody found any problems.
But I am pretty sure about what I felt ... and I still keep thinking if it happened for real. What could be done ? Has anyone ever felt something like this ?
