Hi Colin,

I don't find any difference in fatigue of my "tiredness" factor using HE. For me personally, I find it has to do more with other factors such as depth, conditions including surface conditions and depth conditions, amount of sun, food intake, stress level (this is a big one), as well as all sorts of other little things.

Also, remember that one of the symptoms of subclinical DCS is severe fatigue. I am not saying that is the case for you, but a lot of people believe that many deep divers exhibit sub-clinical DCS symptoms without ever realizing it.

My experience with fatigue after diving has been very sporadic. I can do the same dive, at the same location, with similar conditions on two different days and feel quite different after both dives. Who knows? Why do I feel rested after one night's sleep and still tired after another night's sleep? I just think there are a lot of other physiological factors at work.

If you get it all figured out, let me know!

Regards,
Randy Thornton (MixAddict)
