Had my first diving scare

[Ghost95]

Just curious, how hard we're you breathing during the swim? Hyperventilation, Co2 buildup, either way i bet it was spooky.

Glad everything turned out ok. How the tests give you some good answers.

Nice and slow and full breaths. I use my breath to keep level so fast and short or holding it would make me drift out of my +- box.

Were you diving wet or dry?

I was in a bathing suit temp was 62.6F

Dive I did yesterday was also in bathing suit for 45:39 on 32% with a 41feet max depth with AVG water temp of 57.2F the bottle was also filed at the same time as the tank I had on.

Why in the world are you not at least wearing a wetsuit?

This is insane. You are lucky to not be hypothermic. No wonder you passed out!

If I go deeper 100 feet, I will throw on the 3mill but really, I just don't get cold I will do 3-4 dives in a day at that temp.

I don't think this was the issue though. I say that due to the fact I have been spending weeks in that water temp with 0 issue and the following day was even colder and longer. 10min V 45MIN and 57F V 62F and I was just fine. I do use a pair of 2mill gloves for fishhooks.

Remember that part in your nitrox course where you learned that diving without adequate thermal protection can increase the risk of oxygen toxicity?
