Date: Mon, 17 Aug 1998 10:31:00 EDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit In a message dated 98-08-17 09:06:30 EDT, you write: << The toxicology report showed no Dramamine in his system >> as I said earlier, you are confusing me with Aquadart....I do not believe Dramamine caused any death..........1) it was flat, flat , flat calm that trip....I was on another boat that day but on the wreck....2) apparantly Richard had enough experience to be self aware should some malady i.e. drowsiness be overtaking him and therefore call or at the very least modify the dive ....3) being that far inside the Doria is very intense, I think that maybe he followed some already lines laid inside, made an error of judgement, got off the line or lines, lost his orientation....extremely easy as the silt was probably stirred up by then and the exit holes, even though not really that far distance wise, are invisible to the eye...even if the silt isn't stirred up.....and then either toxed or simply breathed out all his gas in the time left him while trying to figure out where the hell he was in relation to where he needed to be.....fairly brutal..... On wreck penetration ones orientatiion to ones entrances or exits is all important.....until you have silted yourself out, you cannot believe how lost you can be.....5 feet can be the same as 5 miles......thats why divers who want to work the Doria need to take time to hone these skills on 'friendlier' wrecks, by that I mean wrecks that allow one more of an 'oh shit' window to deal with all the contingencies that happen when the downhill train starts running...... --part0_903364355_boundary-- -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
