CCR Bailout - KISS Rebreather - Wreck dive, at night!! - Full video

[@familyscuba1292]

Thanks for sharing. Did you figure out what caused the dizziness feeling? From the video it doesn’t appear your PO2 ever dropped below a 1.0.

Na, never worked it out. As I have said in a few other comments, I really think it must have come down to shallow breathing or just a run of the mill head rush like you sometimes get on land maybe? Not sure how the physicis behind that works underwater.

@@TURSTY09 Thanks for the reply. Mushroom valves maybe? Did your heart rate go up? I had a CO2 hit about a year ago. It was a crazy experience. Glad you managed yours and got out of dodge.

@@familyscuba1292 Mushroom valves all tested ok and have dived the same ones since. My heart rate was actually super relaxed on that dive, hence why I think it might have been shallow breathing. I guess if I was breathing really softly theres a possibility it wasnt closing the mushroom valves letting a bit of breath move back and foward. Unlikley though I think. I did wonder if the shutoff being closed might have meant I was running low loop volume, adding to the shallow breathing possibility, but the ADV takes a good amount of negative pressure to fire and I usually add volume via my BOV.....so that dont make a lot of sense.

@@TURSTY09 Yeah. Super weird. Learn from the experience and move on I guess.
