just visited the psycho site, the stories make for an interesting read... as well as making you sit and look at the wall for a minute or two...  Though I agree with your point, you can learn from the experiences of other people and hopefully that may help with an experience of your own..

It certainly did for me Ian, but heres hoping that you never need to ;)

Its good to talk, you could have got out of the water and pretended that nothing happened. sometimes its nice to hear that other people have felt the same way, at one time or another.

I always think that if you are a diver and you never sence the grim reaper behind you, you are lucky. If you have trained properly and are in the correct state of mind you will react in the best way, if not, anything could happen.

Read your tale now Dave, and a very sobering one it is too. I'm not sure I would have done a 35m and then a later 23 metre dive myself under those conditions.
Glad you're still here to tell the tale

I still haven't worked out how to use the quote function, as you'll have gathered from the above c*ck-up. Anyway, my comment was supposed to read as follows:
Why not, Steve? With a good surface interval it's no problem, especially if you use nitrox for the second dive. I shall no doubt be doing something similar this coming Saturday. But perhaps I misunderstood you. Maybe it was &quot; under these conditions&quot; that was the important bit?

I Think that just reflects my (current) rather cautious approach to diving; its been a long while since 20+ M to 35-ish metres has been the norm for my diving as more often than not I'm instructing CD/ODs or SDs. Plus, been getting to grips with new kit recently, so an added note of caution there too. &nbsp;
Guess I might need to re-discover the more adventurous side of diving in the near future.

Hi Dave,
great story mate and I'm glad you came out of it unscathed, one question though as I am a poor sailor I often take stugeron just before diving why did you list that as one of the possible causes?

Safe diving,
Steve.

Very interesting story, and well done for admitting to being sh** scared takes quite a person.

I was reading with interest you saying about how noisy it was below you, as that was i experienced on a deep dive recently and am wondering whether narcosis was a big part of it?
Does anyone know if narcosis adds to your sense of hearing/ makes you think you are hearing things?

Basically me and my buddy were doing eastern kings last week, we have been building up our deep dives together over the summer, but this one (at 45m) is proberly the deepest this summer. Honestly I cant really remember when the noise started, as it was more of a case of it irritating me after it had been going on a while! for those who dont know eastern kings so well it is part of a pretty busy shipping lane, so when diving it you do get used to hearing sounds of boat traffic about. Anyway when chatting to buddy afterwards we were exclaiming about how noisy it was and sounding like a huge storm - we figured it just must of been a pretty huge boat that was going extremely slowly!
Interesting to know if it could of been narcosis adding to it- another symptom to put on the list!
