"My dive profiles are as follows:- ( times are time of descending to time of surfacing) All dives were on Air. Temp was recorded at deepest part of each dive.
Friday:
Dive 1
10:46 to 16.2m, out at 11:23 (37mins)(temp 8C), Had uncontrolled ascent from approx 12 metres to surface..was slowed by 2 divers holding my fins. It was later found that my cuff dump on my dry suit was infact partly blocked with talc powder which made me unable to dump air quick enough on ascent.
Dive 2
13:53 to 30m (multi level dive), out at 14:32 (39 mins)(temp 7C)
Dive 3
15:40 to 6m, out at 16:18 (38 mins)(temp 8C)
Saturday:
Dive1
10:34 to 19m out at 11:01 (27mins) temp 8C
Dive2
13:29 to 6m out at 14:00 (31 mins) temp 8C
Dive3
15:48 to 19m out at 16:13 (25mins) temp 8C
Sunday:
Dive1
9:26 to 21m out at 9:55 (29mins) temp 8C
Dive2
11:48 to 21m out at 12:20 (32 mins) temp 7C
Dive3
14:02 to 21.6m out at 14:27 (25 mins) temp 7C , Buddy started ascending uncontrollably from approx 10 metres, whereby i grabbed his fin to slow him down...we managed to stop at 4 metres. A 3-5 minute safety stop was attempted although with no frame of reference (open water-no lines) and with 2 other inexperienced divers grabbing onto me to stabelize themselves the stop was abandoned. 200 yard surface swim to shore. Symptoms (pins and needles) began immediately in both feet." Posted by Aegir in Dr.Deco's Forum
Since I am the one who usually seems to stir up the controversy, I will take this opportunity to do so at this time.
Not to point fingers, fault or ridicule but to help all the new and old divers alike learn from this accident.
I am refering to Aegir's uncontrolled ascents. We are all deeply sorry that one of us has had any kind of accident, but we are fortunate in several ways. One that she is still with us and is in a good state of recovery. Two, that she decided to share her experience with us in hopes that we can learn from her experience.
I know that I have stepped on untrodden ground, but this may save somebody's life someday!
