Sub clinical symptoms diving 18/45 trimix and decoing out on a 1.3 set point at 6m prior to a drop to 0.7 set point and a 5min ascent to the surface. No stops missed normal modified VR3 profile with VPM stile ascent to VR3 shallow stop and clearing VR3 at 6m

Aches pains and extremely sleepy after the dives. Symptoms lasted overnight. No Hyperbaric treatment sought but ambient 02 used next day.

This happened three times I put the first one down to being knackered but there was no excuse for the second or third incident. I switched to pure 02 flush at 6m for the final 20mins of deco with fresh gas every 5mins and I never had the problem again. Unfortunately doing this has put my CNS way over 100 on a couple of occasions.
