I’m a fairly well experienced diver. The “closest call” I had was while fighting a strong current on a wall (Yapak in Boracay,Philippines). I was working hard to keep up with my instructor and using a lot of air. My reg could not keep up and I started feeling like I was not getting enough air. Felt the beginning stages of panic kicking in. I knew technically what was happening , but I had to really mentally focus on my breathing to remain calm. I could definitely foresee situations where someone panics underwater.
