This guy deserves a medal

Drmike · 7th April 2006, 09:25

Just been given the good news that amazingly the OC diver (Paul) who tried to help Fred and who got bent doing so has just been released from the hospital

Miraculously he is fine - juts fatigued.

I have edited the thread with info as recieved from those involved. http://www.rebreatherworld.com/memor...red-evans.html

As you can see this guy deserves a medal.

He can be my buddy any day!

Cheers
Mike

I agree 150% that Paul deserves a huge medal for doing everything he could trying to save his buddy.

Please seek him out and buy him a beer or two from me.

Damn. That's truly going above and beyond......

ROB DAVIE · 7th April 2006, 14:32

Amen to that, Mike, et al!! That is truly courage and action above and beyond the call.

A truly rare individual. Amazing courage and self belief with a survival instinct to match.

Incredible

Someone needs to attach to his bumper hitch a set of those large rubber balls I see around lately.

He is truely an amazing guy for risking himself in the efforts and I hope that I never have to witness something like that and can be calm and collective at the time.
