Subject: My First Dive

My very first dive on the Pickerel I was lookout. When we cleared the bridge for dive the officer was to hang on the lanyard while I cranked the hatch shut. When he hung on the lanyard it wrapped around the closing mechanism. I was not able to dog the hatch, and me being so green I thought it might be our last dive. It didn't help my panic when I started to hear water washing over the hatch. This happened my first day at sea.

As they used to say. "A near miss is a good learning experience, as long as you come out alive."
