12 Hours at 3 Metres

OK so we have so far..
Drysuit.
Surface supervised.
Support.
Isotonic drinks.
Great big nappy.
Mags etc.
Skin protection.

Anything I forgot??
Also, had a chat with the pool manager last night at training and they see no problem providing we don't take up much surface space in the pool.
So now to sell this little idea to the club commitee......

namy thanks for your advice, keep it coming if you think of anything.

Cheers.

Will immersion shock be an issue?

Will deco be required?

Don't forget you won't be able to make love for quite sometime afterwards.........................

well after a normal dive its about the size of a pea, so after a mega dive its going to have disappeared and will need time to recover...


Ok I've got my coat, where's the door

I would use a pee valve over a nappy cause depending on the concentration of your urine you can get a chemical burn on your skin which could be unpleasant, just ask any babies

also you will need to think about your weights carefully cause if you stick it all on a belt you could end up with back ache on a megga scale.

best to look at a weight harness and maybe put a kilo around each ankle or even more to stop you flopping around and to give you a bit of stability.

just an idea

In a swimming pool? You're nice.

Jaw ache from the regulator? There were some dental students at Manchester University doing some work on this a few years ago. Or you could use a full face mask which would allow you to doze off.

With a pipe in to a bag of course

12 hours underwater breathing Open Circuit - I would need about 10L of drinks to keep my mouth from completely drying out. I can't do a 30min dive without taking a drink with me.
