Again with name calling? How old are we now. I think if one goes and looks at the posts you have made in the last few days, not just the ones in the thread it can be determined that you are not big on trimix and think it basically has no benefits despite many many supports in both recreational and commercial divnig. So basically you are stating all the experts are wrong and that you opinion, based on your experieces not scientific evidence, is corret. Here are your exact words, now tell me you not saying this and maybe you will regain some of my respect.
First off, you can well rest assured that I don't care who you do and don't respect.
Secondly, within the context of the thread, we're talking about an 84 ft dive. My marks are addressed to that parameter, and the misunderstanding is yours. To think I am not big on trimix is (another) a gross misunderstanding on your part. But to assume it is a cure-all, like Mike does, is a dangerous attitude.
Although I didn't state that all the experts are wrong about trimix, I don't hesitate to question experts, as you have seen.
My point that arbitrary limits set by agencies don't address real world situations has been proven by Mike himself, just by providing this thread. Now that -that- cat is out of the bag, Mike is waffling on whether this incident was narcosis at all, another -grand- assumption on his part, good company for several others that he made already in this thread.
Besides professional discourtesy to Hal Watts, it's the only point that I've had.
And there's a difference between name calling and simplistic description.
Your initial post was assumptive, rude and insinuating, yet you attempt to chastise me for plain speaking, which, among your many other talents makes you a hypocrite.
As soon as you apologize, and earn some respect, maybe we can dwell on who you choose to respect.
