Newbie cockups so far...
Loop flood: Dil Inflator unscrewed itself. Interesting experience and I reckon I have a drill now to use to recover from it, rather than bailing out.
Good lesson learnt, this one, if only giving me confidence in handling the situation.
Breathing Buddy Clean at depth: Horrible Fabric Conditioner taste, slightly caustic at depth. High WOB and racing through dil. Handsets (PO2) and Resp. rate OK so didn't bail. I changed slime for next dive but still got a minor taste. Lesson learnt here - it's good to have a clear head at depth. Logical thinking stops panic. I do rinse thoroughly but now recall squirting Buddy Clean into
all the convoluted hoses. Yup, head-end ones too. Muppet! Rinsed these out carefully and vowed never to clean Box under the influence in future... The high WOB and racing dill was down to me subconsciously breathing the taste out through my nose. The ADV (a Bob) is set really hard, hence the perceived high WOB...
To be continued...
