I was a diver in the Navy. In 1982 I drowned off the shore of Cuba at 4 fathoms. I was brought to the surface by a buddy and team member, and dragged ashore at Guantanamo. They revived me with CPR. They estimated that I was dead for 2-3 minutes.
Oddly enough, the buddy that saved me was a Samoan that we called the Flying Hawaiian. He was a cliff diver that could hold his breath for 5 minutes and he was a much superior swimmer than I.

God bless you FH.
