Subject: Ideals on what mixes to Go to !

So does anyone have ideals for me!

My Interest in rebreathers and mixed gas is that I have had three DCS
hit which were uncalled for. One from a research Sub after a dive to
880ft to a wreck off Grand Cayman there was a vacum when the hatch
opened which was to be one atm and I had already loged 12 dives in 4
days on regular air.  The fight home added to be getting bent which was
a week long ordeal. Second time was spearing a large redsnapper and the
asscent I started mid headaches and started staged stops till aches
disappeared and took 19 minutes on stops then O2 in 15 minute intervals
for 2 hours with 5 minute air breaks on boat. Only minor musle pains
resulted in Doctors going ahead and placing in Chamber for Table V
protacall. Last time was due to contaimated air and after a week of
teaching with 19 dives to 30 feet. Resulted in in DCS 10 hours after
dive and three months latter Asceptic Necrosis of the end of Right
Femor, Seven months of Physical Theropy to learn to walk again.

Nitrogen is my problem and looking for other alternatives. I have
curtell ed my teaching and diving due to this last incident in 1994. I
have about another 400 dives since then. I teach about 150 new divers
annually. In July I shoot my first 50 lb Amber Jack and It was an adrium
RUSH.

Concerning Goal... There is a wreck off South Point in Grand Cayman
which Ambasador Divers started diving mixed gas in 1991 to 190 feet to
the deck. Does anyone dove this certain wreck? I want to shoot a film
off the wreck and use rebreathers. Also I own realestate in Belize in
the central part and want to dive deeper than the 200 feet level and get
a mini sub to use on the wall to explore for old wrecks..
