Dr. G, we tend to get suprised by the slobitis events. My personal bets are
1) muffed deep stops, 2) cold. Lack of O2 has not made my personal hit list
yet. Keep in mind that cold and wet is sure slobitis, deep stops is a guess.
Trout got it one time and I have no clue why - I was with him and did not
get it myself. On other dives, I got it and Trout did not. Bill Mee got it a
couple of times - he coined the phrase and may be the guy to best guess this
one for us. By the wya, JT is pretty trim.
