I’ve had a partial flood at a what I’d describe as concerning depth, with 4hrs deco in front of me, and this was off Southern Ireland luckily (foresighted as a possibility) I wear good quality undersuit gear that I know will offer some form of thermal protection if wet, anyway the thermals did as promised and the dive was completed safely, I should stress that every dive I do I always carry a yellow (colour of emergency) bottom sealing 45kg lift bag, in the event I loose all buoyancy and need to winch up it at least makes the job more favourable.
As per original post, Balanced Gear mentality, I don’t dwell on bad things happening but like to think most eventualities are catered for.. (like the small white slate I carry in my notes and the clip that is stitched atop the bag already mentioned which it fits) my thought being “oh emergency eh! I wonder what’s happening?” Being the problem topside….

Safe diving.
