    About: Linden Wolbert

    • Profile: Born of two swimmers, Linden Wolbert was raised in Pennsylvania Dutch country. Far from the ocean, she and her sister Cameron looked forward to swim team at the local pool in the summers and trips to the Jersey Shore. Interested in animals and insects large and small, Linden studied various field guides and memorized tropical fish species as a youngster. An obsession with Jacques Cousteau documentaries yielded worn-out video recordings of the Calypso and crew from repeated viewings. After discovering a love for camera and images, Linden attended Emerson College in Boston to study Film and Science with the dream of becoming a wildlife cinematographer. There she shot her first underwater film on 16mm with a Bolex camera and a housing she crafted from a fish tank. In 2003, Linden moved to Los Angeles to finish her undergraduate degree and got her Open Water certification shortly thereafter. This was a dream come true for her. With boundless energy and passion for the world of SCUBA and freediving, Linden is anxious to travel, dive with like-minded people, help the oceans and infect others with the water bug.

      But she was coughing up blood! That can't be good, I was shocked that they took it so lightly. I would have asked to be checked out in hospital.

      The people that need to learn a lesson is Omer - this diver was was trapped because of the stupid clip they put on their Stingray footpockets (and the Millenniums had this unnecessary clip too, though the Stingray design is worse). How they could not consider the risk is unbelievable.  No other footpocket design includes anything that line can catch on.

      the diver is feeling fine after a minute under water with a 1/2 breath, then the next thing is hes panicking because...hes out of breath completely!!! (hyperventalation?)Always surface well before you absoultely need to, with about 15 seconds to lesuirely get up. That way, if you find yourself stuck, you have time to assess and release if tangled. If that doesnt work, cut the line immediately with no hesitation. Lines are super dangerous anytime, especially in murky, kelp heavy water.

      Lesson learned: no fish is worth dying for! If you're trapped underwater and you need to breathe, get your knife and cut through the line. I have been trapped underwater once by some fishing line that got tangled around my weight belt at 6m, and I was amazed at how calmly I reached for my knife and cut myself free.
