Question:: If Joe did pass out ascending the anchor line and fell to the bottom unconscious, what would make that happen? Is it oversaturation of nitrogen? If he was on Nitrox, is there a gas that will knock you out if your oversaturated?
Or perhaps, ask a question on Scubaboard, where you can get a nice, friendly answer.MASS-Diver once bubbled...
Dude, you can't get "oversaturated" on nitrogen. If they were doing staged decompression diving (carrying stage bottles w/ different O2 level)s he could have taken an O2 hit and passed out. However there is not indication that this is the case.
Do some reasearch on basic gas principles.
