Is it costs, the technical aspects, or both, that prevent more people from using the SCUBA inert gas method?

[Onomatopoeia]

I spent $900 total on all the equipment, after getting ripped off for $500 to try buying N. I think the evidence and literature are quite clear - that inert gas is the most peaceful, quickest CTB possible other than N. It took me a while to really understand how it all worked. But when it was all said and done, I just needed the 99.99+% pure nitrogen, the SCUBA regulator, the U.S. adapters and the mask. Now when I'm ready, in a couple weeks, I'll just cut the mouthpiece out, put the mask on, turn on the gas, breath deeply and lose consciousness. All your exhaled air goes to the outside, like when you see bubbles coming from actual SCUBA divers faces.

Would more people do this method if it was less expensive? Less technical? Both? I'm just an English teacher, and believe I figured it out. Sorry I talk about this a lot. But I'm about to leave this world with this method, and just want to hear from everyone.

I would if it was more affordable, and the technical aspect of it confuses me as well. I'm just getting the hang of putting together everything for my exit bag, now if I wanted to do the scba, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

 

[4g1vvvven]

There are certainly technical and financial barriers with this method.
The PPH for whatever reason gives it the same peacefulness as SN I believe so the latter being simpler and cheaper probably aids its popularity.

Discretion is probably another contributing factor, even if you have a nice setup and are confident using it, perhaps you live with others and don't want to to risk them noticing your 9 liter tank, it is my understanding it also makes some sound right?

 

[Dayrain]

Aesthetics is another factor. Part of why the Sarco emerged.

 

[divinemistress36]

The technical aspects . I have cognitive issues so it's very hard for me to understand it

SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) and SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) are very different. I wouldn't even know where to begin with SCBA because I've spent the last 5-6 weeks studying SCUBA.

The PPH for whatever reason gives it the same peacefulness as SN

I think that is BS. I've read almost everything possible about SCUBA inert gas CTB. Never have I read about anyone violently vomiting or feeling sick. I lost some respect for the Peaceful Pill handbook after reading that. SN and inert gas are not the same peacefulness at all. You also have to build up the courage to drink basically a salty diarrhea concoction.

When you first start researching it, it is definitely overwhelming. But after cutting out all the extra interference, I realized I needed just four things: the nitrogen, the regulator, the adapters and the mask. SCUBA is much easier technically than SCBA and exit bag inert gas CTB. Exit bag is the least expensive, but also has the greatest chance of error and failure.

Do you have a date set for your ctb?

Do you have a date set for your ctb?

By the end of March. Did you see my setup?

Just ratchet straps/tie-down straps that you can get in most hardware stores: . And you tighten it after you adjust the mask or is it preset?

It's weird I'm kind of proud of it. I have everything now. I have a few things to take care of still so I don't hurt anyone else when I'm gone. If I have one of those very sad days anytime soon, I'll go sooner. But definitely by March 31. I will make sure to tag you in my goodbye post. You've become my friend here! :)

This is awesome. Do you feel at peace about all this? Love that you are going to pull a britney spears and shave your head

I do feel at peace. Next week it's been 18 months since the love of my life was murdered. Everyday is so empty and meaningless. There are still stretches where I don't get out of bed for days. I haven't worked in over a year. I don't want to be around people anymore. I don't talk to anyone anymore. I have no place in this world anymore so I have to be at peace.

My whole existence was my husband and our unborn child, and our home. I feel at peace because whatever he experienced and where ever he is, I may have a chance to see him again soon. And I'm only shaving my head to make sure my hair doesn't cause any complication with the inert gas application.

Its about affordability, access ( some can theoretically get the equipment but might have some restrictions - family for example ) and simplicity - it isn't too hard but not as simple as other methods.

Availability is an issue too since were not all from the same part of the world, id have gone for inert gas instead of SN in a heartbeat if it wasn't so restricted to industrial installations and business needs where I'm from so some of you can consider yourselves pretty fortunate that option is on the table. Good point about restrictions too like family. i don't mind the technical aspects since i can be pretty intense when i learn something so id probably get it right in time and affordability.

Hopefully that answers your question @Onomatopoeia because there's a lot of factors as to why people cant get inert gas and have to look at the horrifying, painful, terrible and agonizingly salty concoction instead as an option, just like others who don't have this forum or know of its existence resort to pesticides, strangulation, swallowing razor blades and any other foreign objects. Its not that people don't want to, its that they haven't been given a plethora of good options to begin with.

 

[Raven2]

I wouldnt have a clue how to set it all up, I live with others so I find it not so discreet either

This is great info I have also choose to go with this method instead. So thank you for sharing.
My i ask where and what you payed for the nitrogen tank? How big it is? And what kind of scuba regulators you recommend?

I'm not posting the name of the company. But you can get high-purity N2 (99.8% or higher, preferably 99.9999990%) from any gas, welding, farm supply or brewing company. I got lucky and got my DIN SCUBA regulator on sale. So the N2 turned out to be the most expensive component - around $300. But that's because I had to buy the tank too. If you already have a tank lying around, then you can just get it filled for $40 or $50 It's not as tall as I thought - maybe three feet and weighs like 40 pounds full.

[rozeske]

For me, it's the lack of availability plus the high coast. If one is able to aquire it, imo this method is as peaceful as it can get with no MAID access, especially for someone who isn't claustrophobic. The technical aspect of it and understanding the whole idea of how it works is definitely not easy but had it been my method I think I would put the effort to understand it and pull it off.

 

[casual_existence]

I bought the rebrrather but I need an adapter that's way too expensive.

Certainly better than SN but with how things are, you can only make the most of what you have.

 

[rozeske]

Exactly, it all comes down to where you live and what you can aquire. Only then would you have the luxury of comparing between "better" methods. SN is also the next best thing when it comes to easiness, reliability and peacefulness. But it can also be an intangible dream for others.

I've actually noticed this too, it can be hard for others to get SN as well as much I didn't really think so but it can be under certain circumstances.

Well, accessibility is a big reason why some people have guns and others have rat poison, this is the case all over the planet, depending on what you can access.

True.

Thank you so much for this and much good luck to you on your journey to peace I will be following you and thinking about you. And of you need someone to talk to. Please feel free to message me good luck.

 

[grahf]

For me it's both
I live in Indonesia
Scuba mask is too expensive
And I don't understand about adapter
And I doubt I can find adapter for scuba to Nitrogen
Because I live in third world country and small city
I envy you could understand the technical aspects
Good luck in your journey
I hope you find peace

 

[Fennec123]

For me... it's just all too technical and expensive and just OTT really.

People have CTBd with a plastic shopping bag and a tank of helium, so it goes to show that you don't need 101 bells and whistles.

Sure, it's nice to have peace of mind.. and I think that's what it's all about.

I'm happy enough with my exitbag and Nitrogen setup... but the more i look at options, the more i doubt myself... but then I just came to the realisation that it's fine and it'll work.

I think people can get get paralysed obsessing over the details (which is easily done, given how many options there are, and guides etc).

 

[nner]

I wish I was smart enough to understand the method and have confidence that it would work well. Unluckily that's not my case, so I have to look for another method.

 

[HuskSince2013]

I think many overlook that they can form what seems to be a genuine interest in SCUBA to family, then get life insurance and dive in a place it is not possible to recover bodies (too deep). Go down and do not come back up. Tragedy is probably better for family than suicide, and you can leave a decent amount of money to family and/or a charity of your choice. You can keep the nitrogen in a "pony bottle", a smaller cylinder usually used for an emergency air supply. The only thing I have not figured out is if drowning would wake you up from feinting from lack of oxygen from the nitrogen - e.g. is a full face mask necessary, and if so do you need to switch gas sources to a full face mask while under water.

 

[Eudaimonic]

This is my ideal method because of the peacefulness and reliability, but I unfortunately can't do it as I live with others.

 

[mayhem]

i would definitely choose the inert gas method but the technicality confuses me a lot and i feel like there is just too many things you need to know. i'm pretty bad with setting things like this up so i would probably fuck up the whole set up, fail horribly and be mad at myself for it.
