The Fin on the Highway: How She Survived 39 Meters Down
-
Letto da:

Di:
A single dive fin on a roadside, buckled tight and four miles from the nearest water, points to a near-fatal moment 39 meters beneath a Gulf inlet; how did a seasoned freediver survive when the line that guided her to the surface went slack and a boat raced through a no-wake zone at 30 miles per hour? Which split-second failure turned a routine ascent into a fight for breath and orientation?
In this episode, we recount the events surrounding the January 15, 2019 discovery and the previous afternoon’s dive that led to it, describing the conditions, equipment, and choices of the freediver as we ask how training and quick thinking intersected with physics and misfortune to produce survival.
Person: Shannon Perry
Date: January 15, 2019 (fin found); January 14, 2019 (dive)
Location: Calder Cove, Citrus County, Florida
Depth: 39 meters descent; 41 meters known limestone shelf
Boat speed: 30 miles per hour
- The fin was found on a Florida roadside on the morning of January 15, 2019, four miles from the nearest water.
- Shannon Perry, age 54, had been holding her breath for approximately 90 seconds when the descent line went slack.
- Calder Cove is a designated no-wake, no-motor zone between November and March with buoys and posted signage.
- Shannon had 18 years of freediving experience and a personal best of 46 meters set in 2015.
- She used a 5-kilogram weight to anchor a bright orange surface marker and a measured descent line, and had visited the 41-meter shelf 12 times before January 14.
