SCUBA inert gas megathread

From ChatGpt:

"It is not wrong to say that some CO₂ might be cleared with shallow unconscious breathing, but it's completely unsafe to assume this is sufficient for life support. The Neptune III, like any scuba regulator, is not a ventilator. It depends on conscious or at least effective breathing effort."

This worries me because it means when I'm unconscious my breathing won't be adequate enough, to clear the CO2 efficiently. Does anyone have a rebuttal to this?

It would be nice to have an answer to this scary question. Please.

Is this adaptor appropriate for the scuba method? I purchased that and a 40 cuft cylinder off of Amazon. Now need the nitrogen itself..and the mask. debating out of Neptune III or Neptune space G divers. The OceanReef Neptune 1st stage SL-35/TX regulator as required for the scuba method one poster made a list of steps for just says when googling and researching that it's for Space G divers via description so not entirely clear if it functions the same with Neptune III.

All of you best of luck with your CTB

From chatgpt:


If a person falls unconscious (for example, due to fainting, head injury, or another cause), their brain activity and awareness are greatly reduced. When unconscious, you don't have conscious perception of sensations like pain, fear, or suffocation — your brain isn't "awake" enough to feel those things.



So I guess you won't feel anything after falling unconscious, so there is no reason to worry about exhausting the co2.
