ocean4vr:Wow, I didn't think I would get a response this fast!! I guess I should clear a few things up. I have my Nitrox Certification along with Rescue Diver. You are correct, I was not at 89 feet the entire dive! That was my recorded bottom depth. The current was a little strong so I decided to stay in one spot, which was filled with marine life(even a lobster that crawled out from under the ledge to investigate)! I was diving nitrox. When I left the bottom I had 4 minutes until decompression. I did a slow ascent and did my proper safety stop, which also was interesting as I had two remoras hanging with me(I have pictures to prove it). My computer was taken to the shop and the profiles downloaded also my tank was rechecked(this was my first dive of the day). The dive before that was two days prior. I was checked for possible PFO and it was negative(along with every other possible medical cause). DAN was contacted as soon as the symptoms proved to be DCS. I must credit the dive boat crew for doing everything by the book, which saved my life!!
Thanks for caring,
Lisa
I'll answer any other questions anyone may have.
Lisa,
Where you well hydrated? how much sleep did you get? did you drink any booze? Salty food? eat anything at all? are you in good shape? on any meds? have a rapid accent?
what kind of computer, what gas where you breathing? where you flying the day before, getting over being ill, or where you ill when you went diving?
that would give me a better picture or what went on.
