Full immersion?

I saw a baptism on youtube where the adult woman was baptized using affusion, similar to how adult baptisms are done at Episcopalian or Catholic churches I have been to (leaning over a font). But the water was poured over a cross. I believe it was in Eastern Europe (possibly Slovenia or the Czech Republic?). I believe the baptism was conducted in an Orthodox church, but it may have actually been Byzantine Catholic.

pouring is permitted if one cannot get enough water for a full immersion.

I don't remember (because I was an infant). I do have a recollection of being entirely underwater, face upward so that I could see daylight through the water, but I think its because when I was a child I might have lost my footing in the shallows of a lake and became submerged, face upward, and pulled out by whatever adult was accompanying me (mom, maybe?). I doubt its a memory of being baptized. But hey, you never know... things are funny that way.
