Yep table 6 18m for 2.5 and another dose next day

Car just got out of the Garage yesterday now safe to drive:)

50m dive was 30min planned bottom time with 35min deco on 50% from 21m and 85% from 9m. I left the botom on 27mins ad my computer showed reduced deco time at 6m stop backed up by the fact the dive was mostly at 45m. I did all the stops starting from 24m and did an extra 5 mins at 6m after the computer had cleared to match the planned table time. I then spent 4 mins getting up from 6m to the surface. Total dive time was 66mins total deco 39mins as registered on the print out from the Vytec.

I breathed 85% all the way on to the boat and then for 5 mins on the boat.


I was sea sick on the boat after the dive so couldent hydrate as quick as I would like coz it kept comming back up but 15mis later I was on the water again tentitavley. Felt good that night and all day Sunday. Dived Stony (20m no deco lots of time at 8m) and Laybourn (6m obviously no deco) on Monday. Took the hit on Thursday? Drove the Jeep all week but got in the MR2 (with cracked exaust)on Thursday for work and did 220miles that day.

CO appears to be the cause of the trouble but as I dive most weeks I am obviously going to at least consider the posibuility of a bend with those type of symptoms.

All in all I feel OK now and managed 3 1/2 weeks of my four week ban from diving just in case.

Hey Portland is only 18m deep and its been planned for weeks so I wasent going to miss that.

I took a bottle of 50% with me each dive and did all ascents off of that with 3min safety stops and 3min ascents from 6m. I know its still naughty but there you go.
