I was having communication issues with the dive helmet, so I popped back up to the surface next to a float stage. As soon as I put my gloved hands up on the float stage, this big guy dive tender Mike steps on both my gloved hands, pinning me to the float stage. I'm screaming at the top of my lungs to "Get off my "F'g" Fingers, Mike". He's not moving. My screams are muffled by the dive helmet and neck dam.
Bobby comes running down the barge, jumps down onto the float stage and pushes Mike off my fingers, telling him he's smashing my fingers!. Thank God he saw what was happening and got the 285 lbs Mike off my fingers..
