if i can free-dive to 50' should i really be doing a CESA from 100' ?
i know padi teaches CESA for depths of 40' or less.
i would think there might be a risk of DCS especially after a good amount of on-gassing and then theres always the risk of AGE if you panic and dont let go of your breath.
i have heard first hand of at least 3 cases where a quick ascent was done from 80' - 90' after significant on-gassing without dcs but others have told me there have been cases of dcs from that profile.
my questions to the group are:
at what depth do you start carrying a redundant gas supply.
what do you think the likely-hood of dcs or age is with CESAs between 60' - 100'.
