Agreed. I made 3 big mistakes on the dive:
1. Didn't dress appropriately. The abrupt ending of dive #2 at least partially contributed to being frozen.
2. Didn't establish my own surface interval. One of the divers was an eager beaver and in hindsight my dive profile was deeper and longer than his.
3. My ascent on the last dive is embarrassing. My ascent rate looks like I'm a circus clown shot from a cannon. I think that the nitrogen loading in my memory was a lot less than in reality, so I didn't consider the ascent to be a risk.
4. You were brave enough to admit it to yourself and others;
5. You were smart enough to seek treatment and advice; and
6. You are open to a frank analysis of your diving and ways in which you can improve it.
Keep up the good work.
