We have been diving in Blue Hole in Egypt last week. We did 80 meter trimix dive with the following gazes: bottom - trimix 12/54, travel - Nitrox 32 and deco - Nitrox 80. Bottom time was 11 min. The dive was planned on Z Planner and we all have VR 3 with us. After 12 meter stop our instructor unexpectedly ascended and went to the surface. He made two deep stops and 15 and 12 meters 1 minute stops. He switched for Nitrox 32 on 24 meters. In total 25 minutes of deco have been missed.
The guy was approached with oxygen for approximately 3 hrs. After surface interval of 7 hours we went back thru passages with altitude change of 600 meters. When we were passing mountain the victim breathed oxygen. Next day he got no symptoms but small itching in finger tips.
Has anybody heard similar stories and its results? I personally think that the guy is simply lucky that he didn't get to the Chamber.
