Manos,

After many LAR V dives, I've never seen this, except once, when a moron
decided to skip the purge. You guys DID purge, right?

Did you always use fresh sofnalime / sodasorb, or did you 'recycle' it like
I know some people like to do?

At what point in the dive did the blackouts occur? If memory serves, the
term "shallow water blackout" was originally used by the brits to describe
guys going hypoxic on O2 rebreathers...
