Excellent post Drmike, and an excellent example of the advantages a CCR brings.

Also a superb argument as to why all us divers, tech or not, should be as self-sufficient as possible, a lesson I learned a couple of months ago. Some advice from Chasey sorted me out, so hopefully I won't be repeating the episode

WOW - this sounds like a story out of "Death on the Doria".

All power to you for keeping a cool head and working it out - gripping stuff and a lot to learn from

Cracking post. I can feel my heart beat quicken and I'm only at my desk!

This bit:

Quote:
Ah....do I have a problem here? I started to feel my normal calmness evaporating and immediately checked the feelings inside as concern grew. I tried again...clunk! My repeated efforts had stirred up the silt and now visibility was rapidly approaching zero. This added to the stress levels and I had to work a little on my feelings to remain calm. I was very glad I was breathing trimix. I used my normal technique of visualizing and checking what is OK in the situation to retain stress levels. Can I breathe? Yes - good. Do I have any gas concerns? No, I can last more than 3 hours here provided my rebreather is working correctly. Is my rebreather working ok? Yes - good. OK That’s all good so my only real problem is the fact I’m stuck. (inside a 60m deep wreck on my own in zero viz ) I have maybe three hours before my scrubber fails I’m sure it wouldn’t take that long to work my way out as I had after all managed to get into this space.
is excellent. I hope that if and when I face the 'pit' I go through the same thought process. Well done mate.
