I did some diving yesterday and well, it didn't go that well. The water was cold and I was wearing a 7mm farmer john and 7mm jacket. The dive was a fast paced affair and I was finning vigorously the entire time. After the first dive I went back to my car and laid down for awhile. Feeling better I went back for the second dive. This dive was worse. I did switch to nitrox (30) because I thought it might help (I think it did actually) I was kicking as harder as I could to keep up the whole time. I was getting quite tired and once or twice I felt a wee bit dizzy. (Yeah, I should have thumbed it but I thought I could make it) After climbing out I felt pretty bad. Even threw up a small amount. After making it home my shoulders and legs were sore and I was finished for the day.
I did have some trouble equalizing but it wasn't that bad. What I believe the problem came from was all the exertion from fighting bouyancy problems and trying to keep up.
So, does this sound like CO2 retention or should I be worrying about something else?
