Hey,
You know the depth is only a small problem associated with a dive on the
Edmund. I see no comment about the extreme cold, even in the summer the
temperature on the bottom would be in the thirties.
I have dived cold and deep before, but I will admit, never that cold or
that deep. I listen and learn to everyone out there, to help guide me in my
decisions. Mario M. Weidner gave the best advice I've seen on a cold deep
dive he had done to 300ft+ under the polar ice cap. It does not get much
colder than that. I listened.
The possibility of
multiple free flows would be excellent, and don't forget about hypothermia
during the long deco in cold water.
These problems I've already encountered.
What does one do when they can't
tolerate the cold any longer and they still have a couple hours of deco
remaining?
Poor planning for the cold is not how you start the dive and that is what
gets you in the predicament you are asking about.
