Scuba Nitrox Incident for Analysis
This apparent true incident was taken from Scuba Board almost 20 years ago. I use it in my nitrox course before the final exam as a discussion exercise for students in small groups. Here, I describe the incident, please post your analysis in the comments, and I'll post my video analysis next week.
A great deal can be learned from the incident analysis. We get to learn from the mistakes and bad luck of others, without having to experience the "pain" of the actual incident. In this spirit, I am grateful for all incidents that are posted, and the generosity and humility of the posters. We analyze these events not to mock the inexperience, poor decisions, or bad fortune of others, but to make ourselves better divers.
