Hello all:
I switched to an FFM several years ago. We haven’t done any diving since 2020, but are planning trips this fall. While looking at potential dive shops, I saw some that prohibited the use of FFM. When I inquired about why- I was told there had been too many deaths due to asphyxia. I’ve been trying to research this to assess my own risk, but I’m not coming up with any data. If anyone can point me to any more information on this, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!
