I run 1.2-1.3 pretty much all the time. As far as voting logice goes. Most MCCR divers that I know (Copis or Kiss) are running the Shearwater computer. The Shearwater calculates Deco (VPM) based on the Average PO2 between the 3 sensors and if it doesn't like what it sees among the sensors, it will v...

Math .. Err that gives me a headache..... Did I mention that I can start an hour dive with only a 1000 psi in a 19'?? and still have gas left over! Economically you guys will always be money ahead to look at a rebreather. Not to mention breathing warm moist gas in January..... I figure It cost me le...

Aluminum 19's one with Air and one with O2 and I'm good for up to 5 hours. \:D/ DM Honestly, you can keep strapping bigger and bigger tanks on but then you run into Deco being your limiting factor. I ran a Steel 120 to 135' a couple weeks ago while dragging big cable suspended from a crane on a barg...

Dirty Jobs - Dave should call them when he cleans a boat bottom and comes home covered in worms. The sites while not exactly eco-friendly are fully permitted and monitored by the State and Feds - Not that that means much. Alot of this gets spread around in the tides and dispersed as well. It's not u...

Actually, it's all about as closely regulated as is possible. All industrial sites in Alaska are regulated like you wouldn't believe. I guess we're learning from your mistakes. We have a huge gold mine trying to open in Juneau and they've been to the 9th circuit and may go to the Supreme Court over ...

what a waste What else are they going to do with it? It's bones and the junk parts after processing the fish. The problem is that it's not really supposed to pile up on the bottom. Most of the plants that I've done surveys for have very little discharge. This one must have some issues eh Dave? Is t...

That's interesting that on a barge the valves can be left in place... I think I'd want them removed and the tanks plugged. The barge is like a container ship. There is no need to take the tanks apart just ship them. When I went down to take my tech nitrox and deco Instructor class from Mel, I shipp...

From someone who rents dry suits exclusively, here are my thoughts; First, I suggest that you rethink your sizing. I currently have the following: Women’s: ML, L, XL (1 of each) Men’s: M (1), L (2), XL (2), XXL (1) As I’m sure you know, women aren’t he same shape as men and putting a women in a man’...

Re: Where are the deals?
I'd like at least one more tank and thought that another AL80 in the 125 dollar price range would be nice. I've seen them for 180. May as well buy a steel LP and I might. Anybody see any deals out there? AL80, steels, used? Dave Unless you buy in huge quantites like some of the discount stores, whi...

Just got mine and the thing I love about it is that my rebreather is in there. In this issue, My rebreather (literally, the one I own) is pictured something like 10 times. It's in the Lake Washington Article, the shearwater add, and a couple other places . Unfortunitaly Erik (the previous owner) is ...

Re: Other reasons for DIR issues
There's another anti-DIR issue out there that doesn't get discussed regularly: DIR is tough on SCUBA dive shops. Ryan Your right to a point. Shops are having to change business models no doubt. but keep in mind, When I jump for an O/C Trimix dive, I have 5 or 6 regulators, and a whole bunch of othe...

From someone who is 1000 miles on the outside looking in. Which means all I know is what I read online and what I hear from a few of my friends in Seattle. My understanding is that there are a lot of divers in Seattle who tech dive and who follow at least as a general rule the principles of the &quo...

If those tanks are all you dive why bother? You're looking at about $75 to convert a MK25 and if you have no pressing need that's not money well spent. If you are thinking tech sometime down the road then you can convert or if you endup with some DIN tanks but I don't see any reason to just do it to...
