| I thinking of this hazily as I was up early and I've had nowhere near enough coffee but if you are breathing air won't nitrogen be a problem in the slow tissues over 12 hours? Hmm...possibly not as your ppN2 won't be high enough. |

| Although mainly a problem in head out immersions there is a tendency to pool blood centrally(chest especially),with associated increased cardiac output,and peeing. The problems occur when rescued,the bllod volume has been reduced but supported by the increased density(the water). So when you get out,there is a loss in hydrostatic support,the Arterial blood pressure can drop,with unconsiousness and Cardiac arrest. Thats why I understand that when people are rescued from lengthy immersions,they are got out horizontally. As I said this is especially true in head out immersions,but when you get out,either get lifted out horizontally,or very very slowly vertically. I suspect the main problem you will get if fit,is dizzyness.It may be worth while having some salt replenishment in drinks,as you would when dehydrated. Get checked out by your GP,look for postural hypotension. Its all guesswork,but take care,and good luck. Last edited by wathdoc : 19-12-07 at 08:22 PM. |

| Yes there is a little on this in the BSAC Dive leader course. This pooling is what makes us pee when we dive. I would really be interested how you managed to concentrate etc during the dive and what emotional effects you notice
