Guys,

i would like to ask something. maybe you feel i can hijacking the thread so please, split if possible.

reading a bit from here, in the latter stages this thread gives the idea that it was mainly due to time, i.e because the USCG was kind of late to respond? am i right with this? if not, please ignore.

given this circumstances, (i dont know the situation of the unfortunate fellow) would you consider it "wrong" to get the diver down to at least 6 metres and get him on a rich mix?

i am only saying this because i have it made clear to the people i dive with, that if i ever dive Akamas, or somewhere where Chamber is very far, and it takes ages to get me there, and my condition is still good, i.e i can breath and hold a reg in my mouth....i would be happy for my buddy or my team to get me down to 6-12 metres (deppense on the deco of the dive off course) and get me on a rich mix and let me there until the mix is used. if i can use the Rebreather, even better.

What do you think of the idea. if they wait to get me to a chamber, in my mind, i am definetely gone! at least, that way, i stand a chance, and i think a good chance!

am curious.

Spyros.
