I recently went on a dive out of Redondo Beach. The day started out well. We entered the water and went to 75 feet. We where in the water for about 7 minutes when my head started to get fuzzy and my stomach was getting sick. I signaled to my buddy that I was not feeling well and need to go up. At about 60 feet I found my self in the air bubbles of other divers and was unable to see my computer and was confused if I was going up or not. I was also getting light headed and felt that I was going to pass out. I was having problems breathing unable to take depth breaths. Trying to keep alert, I past up my 15 foot safety stop and found my self on the surface. ( Not good I know ) when I reached the surface I found my self gasping of air and pulling on my wet suit. After about 3 minutes my buddy came to the surface and helped me to shore. It took about another 15 to 30 minutes before I was OK.
- Was my wet suit to tight ?
- Did I have bad Air ?
I am having my wet suit tailored to eliminate that problem and I have purchased the CO-COP from CO-COP.com, to check my air next time for carbon monoxide. I have done dives to 70 feet before so I do not think It was nitrogen narcosis or I would have felt better as I was ascending.
I am asking for suggestions and if any one is familiar with this and what you think.
Thank you,
