Scientists left baffled by reports of orca 'attacks,' call reports 'highly unusual'

[Snarl]

Was doing a dry suit dive on Dead Man's Wall.  An orca snuck up from behind and lifted me up about 80 feet before I even knew what was going on and got off the 'elevator'.

Were you in danger? i have heard that if you rise towards the surface too quickly, while diving, it can be fatal.
I am pleased that you are still here to write this.

It's quite dangerous.  Especially if you're holding your breath.  I still had about 40 feet of water over my head so no real threat of the bends.  Made for a short dive, which was fine with me.  I didn't really much care for diving in a dry suit.

One of the more odd aspects of that event was that only one other person saw it happen.  Said I was flailing around like crazy (I don't remember that at all).  No one else even saw the whale.  And my assigned 'buddy' never figured out where I was until he surfaced and got back on the boat at the end of the dive.
