On a diving trip/Spearfishing trip, the boat left me in rough seas northern tip of Guam he went against the current, boat driver called on VHF radio to report a missing diver. I swam to shore which happened to be Andersen Airforce base, noticed the navy helo squadron was looking for someone, (me) Guam fire and rescue was out in full force as well as all fishermen in the area. I ran to a phone at Oscars Beach Bar, used the sand as a note pad, I called an Navy pilot friend of mine before cell phones, he assisted in calling off the rescue I call the Ready Room, verified it was me. Then here comes the rescue effects. I navigated across the reef with 6 foot breakers, had slip on fins, walked across the reef bare footed. Not as much as a scratch. Do not care to do it again.
Next day, an artcle appeared in the Guam Pacific Daily News headline of article, Yigodiver calls off own rescue.
