Dave Mascarinas' wife punched him in the chest when he came home from work. "I was just so angry but then just so happy that he was still standing there," she says. After being checked up by EMTs and monitored for a couple of hours, they gave him an all clear. Dave: I don't like to come home and talk about my work because ... I've had some very bad experiences"

Sgt. David Mascarenas is the Dive Supervisor for the Los Angeles Police Department. He's been diving his whole life, and prides himself on never refusing a dive, no matter how treacherous. At least until the summer of 2013, when a murder investigation led him into the unusually murky waters of the La Brea tar pits.
