Accident At Mermet Springs IL

I was at Mermet last weekend, pretty major accident. All the info I have is a lady surfaced way to fast, and her breathing stopped before they got her to the dock. I assisted in the rescue. By the time the EMS arrived we had her breathing again with a strong pulse (140-170 bpm), yea i know, pretty fast, but shock had her messed up. Mermet personal responded the way any professionals would, and really helped save her life. Last I heard she was making a full recovery.

Wow scary stuff. That's one more reason I like having a dive computer. It has alarms for these things. The guys at Mermet are top notch and reallyt seem like they know what they are doing. I'm sure they have trained for this type of situation.

Wow.... I was there all weekend, and didn't even hear about it. I hope this isn't bad karma, but I was there for the last accident also.

By the way, which day, and what time did this accident happen?
