Yes very true, a drowning in cold water is all the more reason to attempt a resuscitation. Cold water temperatures and hypothermia protect the brain against hypoxic damage and until the body has been rewarmed to a core temperature of at least 32 C one should not assume the person has expired...

Here is one GPO attacking a remotely operated vehicle followed by full reverse thrusters to get the octo to back off. The attack occurred off Brooks Peninsula on north Vancouver Island in 55 meters of water according to the article in today's National Post. The article says only the males are...

One of these fits easily in your pocket when on open seas and makes it much easier for search planes to see you. The Survivor II is compact and $39.95. http://www.seerescue.com/features.htm http://www.rescuestreamer.com/

Is this the outfit the newspaper article refers to? If so a picture is worth a thousand words. http://www.beautifulbelize.com/advanceddiving

I hope your friend ends up in the 50 percent no residual symptom group. Do you know how long a time interval there was from the incident until he was in the chamber? Did the other diver experience any symptoms?

You won't be able to download that particular journal article but if you go to your nearest university library you can access the journal or they can get a copy for you. Here is a link to the 2004 report you can download without a membership. http://www.danseap.org/pdf&doc/2004DCIReport.pdf

Your best source of info would be from DAN and in particular their annual DCI report. If you are a member you can download this for free here. http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/index.asp In the study below of 69 divers presenting with paralysis they found 50 percent of divers had no residual...

This is a qualitative go/ no go type device which is one option however some of the early color changes can be difficult to discern. The first change will occur at 10 ppm and I think it goes completely black at 50 ppm. One should not dive the tank if any color change is seen. This is the range...

I think he is refering to the personal locator beacon (PLB) which is used as part of the search and rescue satellite aided tracking (SARSAT) system. To date there have been 10 PLB rescue incidents saving 14 lives as reported here: http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov./...

There is a place called Diver's Nook in Parry Sound as well as Scuba Shack in Gravenhurst which is a bit of a hike from SE Georgian Bay. Don't forget to ask for a recent (< 6 month) air quality certificate. Last time I was up there I did ask and ended up bringing my fills from the GTA. I...

Sure did find a copy and it is being rewritten as we speak. Expect it to look very much like Z180.1-00 with regard to testing when the new edition is done. :eyebrow:

US Navy contract lab is TRI Air Testing www.airtesting.com US Navy special projects Analytical Chemists Inc.(ACI) www.airanalysis.com Service is excellent at ACI and very knowledgeable.

Interesting first post. Obviously you know Fred quite well. Ed Butski is now an independent Canadian Jordair representative and sells new and used Bauer compressors coast to coast.

Yup, Jordair usually guarantees their compressors meet CSA Z180.1-00 standards at the time of sale. Just for your info there is a new kid on the Z180 accredited laboratory block called RPC (Research and Productivity Council) who have the best price on testing, far cheaper than Maxxam...

I would second that. Ed is a decent guy with excellent advice and fair prices though he can be hard to get a hold of at times. Jordair has a used Junior for sale but that is out in Vancouver. http://www.jordair.ca/P__Previously_owned.htm

Docs, what about pilots?! My only near death experience was at the hands of one of your colleagues ;) People place far too much emphasis on credentials in this world and not enough on experience and judgment. This seems to be a North American problem in my opinion. I used to work...
