The third part of my series on CO₂ has been published by Alert Diver (EU)!

In the first part, I shared a personal close-call story and gave a brief overview of the carbon dioxide metabolism in the human body.

In the second part, we examined the mechanics of carbon dioxide generation and elimination, the complications introduced by depth and dive equipment, as well as the deeply unpleasant and potentially devastating effects of hypercapnia.

In the third and final part, I’m talking about ways and means at our disposal to prevent the kind of problems we spent the first two parts seeking to understand, avoid common mistakes, and become better and safer divers overall.
