| Re: How helpful would a CO2 monitor really be?
How about this for a radical idea.....
If you feel a bit strange, bail out, see if you feel less strange.
If you feel less strange, then you can determine that somethings not right with the loop.
Check and validate O2 levels, if these are OK, then it's probably something to do with CO2, either a channel, a breakthrough or a duff batch of lime.
If it's a CO2 incident, then you're not going back on the loop for a while if at all, so start making your ascent of the adequate OC bailout that you (or your team) carry.
You could try getting back on the loop in the shallows and closely monitor how you feel, it may have been a scrubber loading due to the depth you were at, and the scrubber works again in the shallows for a bit longer.
This is what I'll be doing for the time being, until there's a proven CO2 meter that gives some useful, qualtifyable and validatable information. |
