In my case it was a PRISM Topaz scrubber canister, now redesigned because of my mistake! In that case I knew something was wrong before I hit the water but I only just made it.
People like to misunderstand my 'personal crusade". It is NOT that people should not carry OC bail-out. It IS that people should be aware that there will be circumstances when it will NOT help them. CO2 hits and hypoxia being the first that I can think of. I regularly see people being cavalier (I am not saying you were) with preparation BECAUSE they have OC bail-out. That is my beef. I hate hearing about people dying unnecessarily - especially when they have recently had a go at me on this subject on a forum. Your experience seems very serious to me. Than God you were not in different circumstances.
Keith does not appear to be able to explain why he did not bail out on to OC. That's my point.
