She Carved "I AM UP"-How a Freediver Survived 85 Minutes Alone

Cold, dark, and thirty-eight meters down, she carved three words into a slate with a grease pencil - "I AM UP" - hooked it to a passing weight line, and then swam toward a light she could not yet see; how did a trained freediver with a GPS beacon and proper gear become effectively invisible for eighty-five minutes? Which single decision, made alone in water at fifty-eight degrees Fahrenheit, ended up saving her life?
In this episode, you will hear the sequence of events from the moment a propeller blade sliced a four-millimeter cord at 6:47 a.m. on January 9, through the failures and technicalities that thwarted search efforts, to the one action the diver took that changed everything; what does that one decision tell us about preparation, equipment, and human judgment?
Person: Linda Simpson
Date: January 9
Location: Heron Flat channel, Florida Gulf
Depth: 38 meters (carved slate); 32 meters (cord slack)
Duration: 85 minutes
- The propeller blade severed a four-millimeter nylon cord at 6:47 a.m.
- Water temperature was 58 degrees Fahrenheit and Linda wore a three-millimeter wetsuit.
- The integrated GPS beacon transmitted her position every four minutes as designed.
- Terry Holst's 22-foot center-console passed directly over the buoy line at 20-25 knots and was two miles away by sunrise.
- Linda had a personal record of 63 meters in pool freediving and was 38 years old at the time.
