| The year before last I started getting panic attacks with the feeling I need to get the flip out of here around 25 – 30m range, it took a lot of willpower and rassurance from my buddy that all was ok and I don’t need to bolt for the surface.
I had no idea why and felt embarrassed to tell anyone, I have been diving off and on since 78 and this has never happened before I spoke to a very experienced instructor at my LDS and he suggested maybe I was narked, it only used to happen at the start of the dive once I got into it I was fine. I now slow my descent as much as possible and only dive on Nitrox I found this helps. I also told my buddy and now he stays very close to me almost touching until we are into the dive. |
