<\/p>\nI’m on a roll; I wanted to get back into the water again.<\/p>\n
Plus, I promised to bring some North Korean wine and mushrooms to barbecue for debriefing.<\/p>\n
I’m returning to my old macho self – all I have to do now is get back to cage fighting, but I just have a feeling I will get my ass beaten down more so now, than before.<\/p>\n
At least my beard isn’t coming in grey.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I made it down to Terranea resort a little before 8 am. <\/p>\n
It was very obvious that we were not going to go diving.<\/p>\n
I met Reverend Al, Jeff, Nice Bob and a diver named Jiles.<\/p>\n

Even the cove looked shitty.<\/p>\n On the radio this morning, I had heard that there was a diving accident off of the oil rigs. <\/p>\n One diver apparently had an uncontrollable descent and disappeared, another diver got the bends and had to go to the hyperbaric chamber at Catalina.<\/p>\n Jiles apparently was on the trip, so I can give you a third or fourth hand account of what happened.<\/p>\n It was on the Pacific Star dive boat that was chartered from some Meet Up group.<\/p>\n Two buddy divers were diving off the Elly oil rig when one of the divers, who was in his 50’s, lost consciousness. <\/p>\n His buddy noticed that he did not have his regulator in his mouth and was descending rapidly.<\/p>\n The buddy chased him, trying to put the regulator in his mouth and make him buoyant.<\/p>\n The unconscious diver just kept sinking; at 170 feet the buddy couldn’t do anymore and did a rapid ascent to the surface to get help.<\/p>\n The buddy was flown by the Coast Guard to the Catalina hyperbaric chamber.<\/p>\n According to current local news, the Coast Guard had found the body of the other diver in more than 200 feet of water.<\/p>\n We will try the North Korean debrief barbecue the Sunday after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n Local news regarding the diving tragedy is here:<\/p>\n Dead Body of Missing Diver Recovered Off the Coast of Long Beach<\/a>\t<\/p>\n![\"Checking](\"http:\/\/psychosolodiver.com\/wp-content\/DSCF9139NOV122017.jpg\")
