Sounds like you have a good procedure to deal with it should the brown stuff hit the whirly thing.

Right, i've just cut a couple of plans really quickly. Without going into the best gases for the depths you are diving (as thats a whole different thread), i've chosen 2 gases as an example.......Air and 50% Nitrox, with 10% safety added to the settings, and a 30 odd minute bottom time..This is where you've got to start being realistic with your planning.......

ok - first example then.....Everything is fine and everything goes to plan......These are the sort of times you'll get.




Now this one.....everything is going to plan, and then...Oops.....Deco gas has gone and i can't use it anymore, and i'm all by myself....Do i have have enough backgas to complete my deco....I know i don't, hence the spare tin i carry..........Look at the time difference between the two........

My final bailout plan if i forget everything else is to breath what i've got, and when it runs out, get back to the surface. I don't really have much choice what happens then

12/50? You fanny.......Don't you know that us rufty tufty divers only breathe air underwater and eat children for breakfast! Any time you want my gas underwater you can help yourself. Just make sure you have your Visa card and a pen handy....I'll bring the swipe machine
