Re: What Happend?
Perhaps there are several things going on here.
The back of the skull headacke from hell, coming into play during the dive is a dead giveaway for a bad air fill. I personall have experienced this a number of times, but if you dive buddys were using tanks filled at the same time with no bad side effects, perhaps it's not the air causing your problems. Are you smoking a lot of cigs in the cabin pre dive?

Re: What Happend?
I thought bad fill, too. I think you said you used an onboard
compressor to fill? I,m going to go back and reread though. Rick |

Re: What Happend?
Yeah well...IMHO..most problems like this one are usually brought on by bad behavior instead of a bad mix. Not saying it couldn't have been a bad mix...but it fits a Co2 profile like a glove. Symptons and treatment details are spot on. Also, assuming he didn't have a different tank on for the first easy dive, if it was a bad fill, he should have had symptons on that dive also...bad air is bad air..... also, it's doubtful that he stayed on the same tank for the 2 later "busy"dives,,,so maybe he had two tanks of bad mix? Possible...but even more unlikely.
Too many missing details and no re-check of the mix (as far as we know) means it's all conjecture...but my $$$ is on the CO2. Glad he's OK Dan
