It is always a pleasure to listen DR Simon Mitchen talking about tec diving and physic. Being myself recreational and tec instructor I often relate and recommend your lecture. Safe Dive all.
Brilliant content, I learned so much, thank you! Another point to make is the helium has gone up in price because it is a finite resource (on planet earth at least!) with uses in fusion. I have no doubt at some point in the future people will think using 7000 liters of it on one dive is absolutely crazy!
I've been to 56m on air, and suffered little in the way of narcosis, if anything I was just a little bit slower than usual, and more focused on safety. I know someone who's been to 80m on air, but says he "probably left a bit of his brain behind on that dive."
Always a pleasure and an amazing experience listening to Dr. Mitchell, I've learned so much, just amazing 👌. However, I've one quick question: if I remember right, in one of his lectures he was asked by someone which dive computer he's using for his tech dives but I can't find this specific point where he's saying that. Does anyone know which tech dive comp Dr. Mitchell is recommending? Thanks in advance and good diving 👌.
I wonder if the guy who ignored the warnings at 48:30 was influenced by the “don’t trust dive computers” belief put forward by some very well known tech diving organizations…..he ignored his rebreather because he’s been told for years dive computers are not to be trusted.
Again, very well done, Simon. I use this video as part of the curriculum for my Advanced Trimix course.
Thank you for your feedback.

Good on ya for adding the PSA as a pretext to the exciting film that may motivate some to their deaths.
Thank you!

Great point!
I'm doing an extensive art project about technical diving, and this lecture series has been invaluable to my research. Thanks!
Glad the information was helpful.
Excellent presentation - thank you. Just one question if I may. The slide at t=10:00, why isn't ICD not accounted for in the deco gaz? Thank you.
This is fascinating. Thank you for uploading
Only a pleasure!

Thanks for sharing! Hmm we will need to ask Dr Mitchell.
Trials similar to this were conducted over 50 years ago in the North Sea using small amounts of Hydrogen with Helium. I was there.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Excellent talk
Glad you like!
Nitrogen as a recreational drug.
I forgot about helium shortages so prices are definitely rising.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Great lesson
Glad you like it.
this is good stuff to help expand my knowledge on theory. Is there a way we can get the slides from this series?
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately the slides are not available.
Honestly, I’ve been to 60m on air for 3 min and felt no change.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have a friend who lost 3 buddies while diving on rebreathers. He will no longer trust a "chip"
Thank you for sharing the experience with us.

Fair comment. Although the Diver did try his very best to keep to the planned dive profile. Kind regards, Frans Cronje

We are glad you like the video lecture. Unfortunately it is not available in Spanish.
