Meg, Hypoxia, Got swept underneath boat during pick up in very rough conditions with solenoid disconnected doing hyperoxia drill with a 10/52 dil, Don't disconnect solenoid even if stuck open (close/open valve instead and keep it open from 6m up) and hypoxic dils only for 80m+ dives.

Meg, Hypoxia, New place new people new training and got distracted in the middle of a hyperoxia drill. Closed O2 and did not open it again. Attentive instructor noticed and ordered me to bail out.

Meg, Hypoxia, as above but closed O2 at end of dive for lunch break and out of habit. Became late and was rushed getting back in and did not pre-dive and forgot to open O2 while breathing loop on surface. Got very dizzy and spat out deadly loop. Don't rush any pre-dive and never shut the f******g O2 valve for no reason.

That is the worst of my shame. Thinking of changing my user name to Hypo-Gilles
