Back in the spring of 2019, I was doing a technical scuba dive in a Quarry when all hell broke loose! I had a regulator free flow at 112 feet and due to complacency and lack of practice I was unable to fix the problem! I was unable to breath for almost 2 minutes while I ascended slowly and almost blacked out! This was my fault completely avoidable and with practice and preparation, will NEVER happen again! I hope this helps someone out there to NOT make the same mistakes I made! Since then, I have practiced and prepared! I am now a Certified CCR Trimix Tech Diver with over 1100 dives and still humbled by my screwup. I have learned to make every dive a training dive! I hope you will do the same! Safe diving!
