Your deepest depth

[Brand0n]

no, let me clear this up dont attempt it lol. i did my decompresion in a big metal can (decompresion chamber) on pure o2

DeepSeaDan, your a sat diver???

They accept our kind around here?

Yeah, I was a sat.-rat for part of my 10 year comm. dive career - great fun it was!

I just flipped over to Longstreath to check on long sat. stays - one lad did 90 days!

Now that is nuts.

Hey Bud, you hail from one of my fav. places in the world - salt of the earth y'all are!

Do a search on my threads for some nifty reading on the deepsea life back in the early 80's...

TTYL,

Just wondering how long did it take you to get into sat out of dive school? any adive for me i realy would like to get into sat.

basically what the navy divers do............pull up fast, get out of gear and within 5 mins in deco chamber........... still sounds like: bubble and emergency O2, AKA 'bend 'n mend'

But thats cool. Each to his/her own........I spoke to a commercial diver, ex Navy diver on a flight once. We got to talk about diving, yadah, yadah.... He told me he was mid 40's and had been doing this stuff for yeaaars... made truck loads of $$$.........but could he spend it? No, his body was shot, bones fragile and could not hold a drink in his hand longer than 10 mins..... It could be just him, or it could be long term bend 'n mend...

I dunno. I am a lowly SCUBA diver who follows an in water deco profile.

2 years; I lucked out - I had a Diver-Medic ticket when almost no one else did - got me into the pot much sooner than expected.

SurD O2 is all about completing most of your deco. obligation in the relative comfort & safety of the chamber ( as opposed to hanging off the in the water ). Better yet, you get to suck on 100% O2 via b.i.b.s. ( built-in-breathing-system ) mask, for :20 minutes at a crack ( with :5 air breaks ) for a length of time dictated by your dive profile.

Essentially, you leave your last water stop at 40', then have up to :7 to get from 40' in the water to 40' in the chamber. You exit the water, they strip you down & you climb into the outer lock of the double-lock recomp. chamber. The inner lock is already blown down to 40', so you simply open an equalization valve that compresses the outer lock; real soon the depths equalize & you transfer through to the inner lock.

So, you have your girlie mag., your pee can, your matress & blankies - everything you need to do quality deco. time!

Best,

I am familiar with this. But the speed at which you are pulled out of 40' to me is the scary thing.... but that is a different discussion. This one is about how deep one went........

I cant remember, I was narc'ed.....:11:

Long time Military and com divers are getting ailments they haven't put names to yet. It can make you real old, real sick, real fast and doesn't have the glory some think comes with the job.
