First time l bailed out:
Tech dive, to 260ft, on the way backup, around 10 mins into the dive at around 180 feet. I had this overwhelming feeling that I had to get out of the water, RIGHT NOW. It wasn't rational and my anxiety just kept rising. Tried to calm down but it wouldn't go away, bailed out. Went away, completed deco. It could only have been CO2 breakthrough. Maybe channeling in the sorb?
Second time l bailed out:
Wreck dive, at about 310ft, on a Revo, I notice my PPO2 is high and climbing. I DIL flush, gets me to back to PPO2 1.0 but it goes up again to 1.4. Repeat DIL flush, same thing. I bailed out when it hit 1.6 and watched it climb to 2.0. Hit the trigger on my scooter and went home. I was able to go back onto the loop at 40 feet.

- Inspected my KISS Classic, wasn't the sorb, I had a hairline fracture in the head that was allowing exhale gas to by-pass the scrubber. Had to argue with KISS to get a replacement head.

- I had recently serviced my O2 reg, gave the tech specific instructions on the IP that I wanted, not what APEX service manual told him. We hooked up a flow meter and found the IP was way too high. We adjusted it. Now I check them after service.
