My scuba accident - passed out! Needed CPR.

In December 2016 I went scuba diving in Hawaii and did a 80 feet dive at Molokini crater near Maui. It was only my 2nd dive after the certification with a two year gap before my certification dive. My certification dive had occurred in Cancun in 2014. I struggled throughout the dive and started to panic and struggled with my air. I quickly inflated my BCD and passed out before reaching the surface. I was loaded onto a boat and given CPR before being transported to Maui Memorial Medical Center. I’ve given up scuba diving temporarily, but hope I can one day try again only with the one on one guidance at a much slower learning pace. Stay safe!
