I've never done scuba, but I know that panic is the number one enemy.
What the hell is the thought process tearing off the rebreather? Was she gonna use her gills instead?

What'd they do, gear them up and throw them in without teaching them how to use the equipment? What the hell triggered a panic attack? If she suffers from random panic attacks, scuba diving is not a good idea.

Crazy! You learn and train for hours in a pool but once you're in the ocean it's a whole other ball game you're not mentally prepared for. You have to take your time following your instructor as you descend below so you can equalize pressure. Scuba is an awesome experience but not for everyone. I was close to being this lady but our instructor was patient and his calmness kept me calm. She'll stick with snorkeling next time.

When training to dive the instructor turns your oxygen off briefly whilst at 18m depth, that was a fun moment I remember.
