Subject: Oxygen explosion

WARNING- have today experienced a combustion problem when breathing high
o2, not having an o2 clean mask it blew off my face and severely damaged
my mouthpiece. I was on deco with pure o2!!!
Nicky Lauder, all is forgiven.
Was it my mistake for breathing out through my nose, should I have been
told not too, could this of still happened with TDI training?

I can o2 clean my mask but what about my suit? Imagine the problems if
that explodes leaving a long deco bollock naked and singed!!.

Thank god for argon!!.

Hmmmmm, what about all the other non o2 cleaned gear I wear???
