| I wonder if the fact that you couldn't go 10 mins in the chamber without toxing suggests more than anything else that maybe you are just one of those guys who are more susceptible to toxing? Did the hyperbaric docs suggest a reason - or is that regarded as normal during recompression treatment?
You reported that you didn't have water in your lungs - yet you weren't breathing. I thought toxing doesn't stop one from breathing? My understanding was after the spasm ends the diver would begin breathing again? Perhaps some of the MDs here can advise.
If you are unfortunate enough to be susceptible perhaps one of those KM48 masks like I use might be a good idea for you, at least it protects your airway from water in the event of a tox. (personally I really don't understand why these pod masks aren't standard issue for all divers)
This is quite a story. Thanks again for sharing it.
