Not sure if it was covered above but as a pilot, I can say that the FAA specifies in the AIM 8-1-2-d: Decompression Sickness After Scuba Diving. A pilot or passenger who intends to fly after scuba diving should allow the body sufficient time to rid itself of excess nitrogen absorbed during...

Hey Craig, Is that 48 hours with the unit off after a full charge?

Anyone know the turn around time for a battery change? I'm past the 5 year mark and probably due but have trip coming up at the end of the month.

As a non tec diver, I just leave one gas on and go to EDIT GAS to change the % before each dive as needed.

There's a reason pilots rely on checklists.

You want to perform some kind of a half assed autopsy on a fish?

But what units does it display RMV in? :troll:

Lashed to my inflator hose.

Or skip the long hose and use medium size one (40”) while still having a primary donate setup?

:clapping:

A DC that can display your actual air consumption rate while you dive will immediately tell you if you’re breathing too fast. Then you can make a conscious effort to slow your breathing and physical exertion to some target rate. I find it invaluable.

Get a dive computer that displays your SAC rate.

Try using an air integrated dive computer that displays your SAC rate. Here’s how I find it helpful…. I know from experience my rmv is typically between 0.4 to 0.5 cf per min for warm water drift dives. I know I can get a full hour dive at about 65ft with an hp100 if I keep my breathing in...

I had the opposite problem a couple of weeks ago. I keep an smb tied to my spool . The spool I had was recently ordered from DGX but I forgot how much line I ordered it with. We were diving in S. Florida and our own dive boat ran over our flag and severed the line a few minutes into the dive...

You can white knight all you want or you can be helpful. As a DM you did learn about this when you took Rescue Diver, No? https://dan.org/health-medicine/health-resources/diseases-conditions/decompression-illness-what-is-it-and-what-is-the-treatment/

I can only speculate. Perhaps you hit your head in the aforementioned fall?

AGE is very possible at those depths. At 1.5 ata (15 ft), the gas in your lungs will expand by 50% if you surface without exhalation. But your symptoms do not correlate with that.

This. You can get an arterial gas embolism / pulmonary barotrauma from a rapid ascent from 13ft but no way will you get decompression sickness as there just won’t be enough nitrogen absorbed in your tissues for just a few minutes at that depth. Sorry but the cause of your illness was most...
