Dump truck in mine

Yesterday I made a couple mistakes that I am not too proud of regarding 32% and decompression obligations. We were using 32% nitrox. I use a Suunto Vyper on my console and a Tusa IQ 700 on my wrist. I set the Tusa to 32% but I forgot to set the Suuunto to 32% until I was well into the first dive. We continued with the dive with me using just the Tusa. While at the van we had about 5 tasks we wanted to get done and some of these tasks took longer than we planned. With the narcosis and task loading I did not keep enough attention to the no deco time remaining and overshot this by a bit. At the end of our tasks I had a 12 minute decompression obligation with 1,000 pounds of 32% for the ascent. We did our slow ascent to 50' and did a one minute deep stop. we continued slowly to 20' and stopped for a minute. We stopped at 15' for over 3 minutes but I still showed a ceiling of 10' for 8 minutes. I made the slow ascent to the surface as I was getting low on gas. I borrowed Shooters 40 cu ft stage with 32% in it and went back down to 13' to complete my decompression obligation. This took 8 minutes to clear the computer and I stayed there for an extra 2 minutes. I made the ascent and started my sit interval for the next dive. We had about a 2 hour sit interval and did the second dive to the van for about 20 minutes to do two easier tasks at depth. This second dive I made a mini mistake as I was down to 53' and I hit the inflator to add a little heat and all I got was a cold splash on the chest. I guess the inflator hose works better when I actually hook it up to the inflator valve. I connected this and continued the second dive to the van. Lesson learned that complacency is our worst enemy.

Congrats on your first in water recompression! I am glad we were able to discuss and plan what to do in the advent of an actual emergency. (Hang me @ 15' on 100% O2)

Pleasure as always diving with you.
