sweenz:while out in sw florida diving today, we heard over the radio for a distress diver. Its seems he did a 100ft dive, came up threw a new tank on and within 15 minutes was back in the water, back down to 100ft, burned his air out then came right to the top. They called for a med flight and he was taken to Lee memorial in Ft Myers. With the radio going in and out, it was hard to hear the details, so mine might be sketchy. Anyone hear anything??
From your story it seems reckless, but if he did slow ascents and/or required deco (if necessary) and a clean profile to let the bubbles settle after the first dive, then I don't see the problem with a 15 min SI in and of itself.
Of course it sounds like he was going to NDL limits both dives (assuming lots of things - AL80 or bigger tank, square profiles, decent air consumption rate, etc.) or over and then came "right to the top" without safety or deco stops which would be dumb, but then again this may have nothing to do with his profile.
