Hi!

Can you give a little more details pleas !

* Profile of the IWR.
* What did you use to determine when to get out (computer, a good guess, IWR 
   techniques)?
* Did you use a full face mask?
* Did you use O2 under water or air or something else?

We (out hear in the East) know of two IWR techniques the Australian and the US.
In both cases we recommend the use of a full face mask and  O2 but there are 
known cases of successful IWR with air.

It's not a regular or recommended procedure. 
We talk about it only with highly skilled divers (certainly not for the use of
OW 
or AOW divers) and only for emergency where the choices are 
dying / to become crippled or doing IWR.

Anybody else have experience with IWR ?
