the deco passed slowly and me and marty were chattin all the way up about the telescope and stuff, when at about 45m on the jump line i felt a big rush of water, my suit had virtually fully filled with water and i looked at my stop watch and realised i had a LONG time to go, there were a few hours of shivering and at some point i knew that the cold would no t be letting me offgas properly and i knew that in the water temprature it wouldnt take me long to go hypothermic, at some points it crossed my mind whether to sit out the deco and do as much as possible or to get out of the water early and get professional help, basically i knew i would be ****ed either way, i made the decision to stay and sit it out as missing deco seemed crazy and against everything i had ever been taught
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad that it's a happy ending story.
Just to better understand your level of hypothermia and the associated DCS, what was the water temperature and how long were your deco stops? I'm quite sure your answers could help other divers.
BTW, what was the origin of your dry suit flood?
Cheers
