I admit when I have a last stop longer than 45mins and Im alone in the water I do worry and actually my practice is to clip myself to the deco platform in case of convulsion (wont sink or ascend then and Im wearing a FFM)

Only had the twitchies once and it scared the crap out of me.

Food for thought.

Mike do you take a 5 min air break every 25 min?

This come a bit late, but your dive buddy should be awarded a medal!
He has shown heroism beyond self preservation, which is wonderful.
Keep safe!

thanks GOD that you are okay now.
it feels scary to hear that someone went down with his rebreather fully checked up & operating well just to have such an accident.
but do you still trust your inspration ?
I think, if I were you, I may have quit diving my Dolphin.
best wishes of enjoyable diving

I was on a trip last year and we had a diver do a slow ascent from 72m (after spending about 15-20 mins working down there, he spent no more than 30 secs on the surface shouting instructions to the crew then turned straight around and descended back to depth and did all his deco. He didnt get any DCI.

Was your dive a hard one?

Wasnt it one tug for up on the winch and two tugs for down ...... or was it the other way round

.......crew....
