And finally, I'm also wondering whether the out of vogue "bend and mend" type theories have a place in bailout - the concept being get shallow fast, closer to help, on to the O2 early and less travel gas needed.
Anyone else have any theories?
Personal belief Warning....
I tend to stick with what Im happy with, which is decoing and controlling the bubble load at depth. If you start bubbling deep, your problems are going to compound. Worst case scenario is blowing off the shallow stops and getting on the boat for O2.
Normally any big diving I take a drop tank rig for (2,200 Litres of 50%). If Im still sat down over my run time, and with a yellow bag up, I'd expect someone to nip down. Thats what I do for others.
