    Default Coincidence?

    Could this also be co poisoning? Mine was the last post suggesting it be checked since it was in Cozumel. Posted here at request of Shirley. If in the wrong forum feel free to move it.

    Interesting. With so few symptoms, it could be anything. FWIW, Coz, and Playa get fills at very different places.

    I got sick on one of my dives in Cozumel, too. Well, actually, I had migraines on other dives and was sick a lot on the dives. One dive, I turned my dive due to feeling nauseated. I had never vomited through my regulator and didn't want to do it in an overhead environment. I vomited just below the OW surface on the swim back to shore, then surfaced and vomited a fair bit more. I attributed it to a slightly lower than normal dose of omperzole (Prilosec), as I tried cutting back (after discussion with my gastroenterologist).

    After what happened to Brendan, I began to wonder??????? Who the heck knows!! Could it have been my "normal" propensity toward issues (migraines and a minor hiatal hernia) exacerbated by CO???? I frankly don't have any measurements to know. But it sure makes me not want to dive ever again without having used my own analyzer.

    Land of Enchantment -- not so great for cave diving, but mighty scenic!
