Yesterday I got chance to witness a run test of the compressor by its new owner prior to been stripped down. As you can do the CO at the air intake is approx 150ppm and when tested at the whips 175ppm indicating some issue internally over above the contaminated intake. it will now be rebuilt...

That is correct, own compressor and blended gases himself

Sadly it does not appear that there will be any more official information on this. The authorities here have concluded there investigations, funeral has been held and the tanks and ccr sold and funds sent to his family. The compressor has been sold to be stripped and rebuilt.

It does not appear he bailed out

No, CO was found in all the bailout cylinders allegedly at 45ppm and 30ppm in the diluent gas. The CCR did not fail and has been checked to be in good working order.

Any thoughts on these or will a decent household CO monitor suffice? DE-OX SAFE Carbon monoxide analyzer – TEMC DE-OX® Digital Computers and Analyzers

Well both the divers involved I knew / know personally and the cave diving community here in Thailand is quite small and with not too many sites so generally we see each other a fair bit when diving. I don’t want to name names but the source was from a video posted on Facebook but not public of...

I would tend to agree with you there

. Doctors at Maharaj Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital concluded he died from decompressionsickness, also known as thebends…….. Locally, based on an examination of his compressor and bailout CO readings that it was caused by CO poisoning. The compressor was petrol driven with no intake vent or...

I think they are all his bailouts, deeper ones been brought out by the other team member. Having them at the police station for testing would make sense as one of the main suspected causes is carbon monoxide poisoning from a fault in his compressor. Again this is only hearsay at present.

I have not spoken to the other team member directly but a close friend has, I believe it was visual .

Not sure why they separated and I am sure that will come out in the enquiry. Yeah sure I hear you on the bailouts and cannot rationalise that myself. I do know that the other team member brought them all out on ascent, been unaware of situation on the surface.

There are a lot of inaccuracies and all those reports above. A two man team were diving song hong cave to a planned depth of 150m having previously placed bailouts and conducted other dives. One on a AP inspiration and one on both a Revo and triton CCR. Both experienced cave divers and with...
