Glad you survived as it sounds like you were about to go lights out and drop your dsv!

This seems extremely similar to a thread that a uk diver posted recently about having a hypoxic incident. That diver was a KISS diver if i recall correctly.

One point that was made in that thread which also applies here was that the diver was diving the unit with an error showing when infact he believed there was no error. This allowed him to ignore the error and the PPO2 dropped to similar levels.

I hope you don't take my comments as a finger pointing post but thats just one point that i wanted to call out.

That was actually a Meg incident - hence the long and valuable HUD discussion that followed.

Cheers,
