Given some recent technical diving deaths involving incorrect deco gas switches, the following video may be useful for some new technical divers. The most recent two are a technical diving instructor and a diver who attempted a deco gas switch while doing a deep air dive.
The video discusses additional measures beyond properly analyzing and labeling deco cylinders and following accepted gas switch procedures. These are extra measures that can be employed to minimize the possibility of an incorrect procedure in the event of an emergency or debilitated state such as narcosis.
