Say that you are returning from a 60 minute long progression in a cold water cave (7°C) at 60m average depth, and when you start ascending your buddy experiences a catastrophic failure of the drysuit zipper, so that the drysuit is fully open and totally flooded.
The deco obligation in that moment is in the neighborhood of 90'.
There is no way anyone can survive more than a few minutes without thermal protection in such cold water.
There is probably no one that can survive after a quick surfacing either.
What could and should you do?
The drysuit is, as far as I know, without possible redundancy.
Cold water kills. |
