What ends your dive?

[pt40fathoms]

Mondays, that dreaded day when I have to go back to work.

Other than that, it's one of air/gas/time or maybe hunger, or possibly thirst, or later the need to sleep. Haven't figured out how to sleep under water without my blankee and teddy bear getting all wet.

But mostly, mondays. ;-0

Normally boredom or running out of film in my camera

Since I haven't been able to go diving in nearly forever, it's hard to remember. Sigh.

my dives are planned based on the size of my badder
generaly 2 to 2-1/2 hours

can't wait to get that pee valve installed

I would have to say that it is air that always ends my dives. Even my deep dives are ended by air, as I always plan with my buddy beforehand and plan multilevel dives so that I am in the water for a maximum amount of time.

The odd time my dives are ended by either N2/NDLs, or by temperature (I am the only one who dives in a wetsuit... and usually get colder before everyone else... until this Sat thoguh!!!!!)

Dive plans must take into account all:
activity/objective
NDL
air consumption/supply
thermal exposure limits
physical /experience limitations
an emergency/contingency situation

Encountering/reaching any of these, with possible exception of "goal or task completed" is reason to end the dive.

Example: the task of finding a lost out board motor.
If the lost article was found early in the dive, it would be permissible to mark the location, and further explore/search the area until air supply, NDL or thermal exposure limits are reached.

Air ends most if not all my dives, no mater if it is mine or my buddie's

My buddy is an air hog, so we have a "strategy" where he uses my octopus during about one third of the dive (no problem for me, as I usuall "fill" my bottle ).
So, overall, Nitrogen has been the main reason to end our dives.
But that is about to change...
Thank God for Nitrox !!

I'm an airhog so my buddy (my hubbie) and I always share air on a dive. It allows us to stay down 15 - 20 minutes longer. We just swim side by side and enjoy the sites as I breathe off his octo! I wonder how many other people do this?
