You mean the spasms that appear when the body insists 
on drawing a breath, even under water ?

I can believe that. I have read descriptions from 
recovered ppl and the process of drowning and the 
burning from lack of oxygen sounds like one of the 
absolute worst ways of kicking it.

Did you ?

You are a brave man.

You have one inside you, your higher self.

Sounds very dramatic and not a little claustrophobia 
inducing. I'd like to read it as I have claustrophobia 
and need to get rid of it.

Plongeur ?  Is that the French word for Diver ?

LOL !
 
It is all up to Goddess.  :)
 
I'm starting my own little sensory deprivation 
experiment this weekend. I'll try to sit in 
absolute darkness for as long as I can and just 
be in the moment there. 
 
Very creepy and very interesting to hear about 
your wilful drowning experiences. I used to do 
free diving and know the gagging spasms when you 
start to get empty for air.
 
Best regards,
 
Amanda.
