You could be a long time waiting. Driving yourself or being driven too a chamber is not uncommon.

if you forget stuff thats not ding it worse you still did the best with the circumstances available, however if these skills like everything else arnt practised regular then they are worthless as you get stressed and do things wrong.
Practise learn better skills and if you feel you need an O2 kit Get better training than a one day O2 admin course, because it's just the basics, and if you are that serious get better trained, because it wont just be O2 thats needed.

Cobblers and words to that effect Graham.
O2 as a first aid treatment has been very effective for many divers. Just because it is basic does not mean it is not good enough for 99% of incidents. Serious events can and have happened during what would appear to be shallow (to you) benign dives. O2 admin has made a big difference to the long term out come of those problems.
