Northwest Dive Club

Just received mine, they're really compact and bright. Anyone have suggestions for a new O2/He analyzer ?

I have two Hp Xs Scuba/Worthingtons 100cu. Both are in current vip and have a original hydro of 11/08 $225 EA

I just ordered a Shearwater, I'll give you a comparison after a few dives.

Great post and pics, Sund Rock is always a fun dive. I dont remember being to that wall at 160' on your map, has anyone been out there ? The 160' ish wall I have been to there, wasn't in that location.

Wasn't aware of the auto dim feature on V-planner Live, Ill have to check into it. Sent email and pics out to Liquivison tonight. I have also had superior service from them in the past, they are a great company to deal with.

Anyone having their display dim considerably in one day ?

We dove in right behind your group, and did two dives at Jorstad. The vis seemed to open up at 80 + on the deeper walls

(( ZSAOlY WROTE I find it harder to not miss the helmet size rock just below the surface of the water that are particularly hard to see.

A good buddy would have warned

Great post Josh

If it wasn't for Tom and Keith carrying all my gear for me I would have never made it. Just take your time and go slow, Down is the easy part

How was the known 45% made, is that just determined via another analyzer? Does its intermittent performance have any relationship with the flow meter you're using? Not only the 45%, just a example of the 5% bounce. I can turn it off and then back on when it changes, then everything is back to norma...

What analyzer and what sensor do you have? Unlike oxygen sensors that are basically electro-galvanic fuel cells and chemically wear out, He Sensors uses thermal conductivity to test content, so I would assume its probably 5-10 years in normal expectancy. That said, I have a DiveSoft Trimix analyzer...

Alcohol won't hurt the valves, and it's not a terribly good disinfectant, so I wouldn't dilute it with water. But following an alcohol rinse with a vinegar rinse is not a bad idea at all, because the Pseudomonas bacteria that have been involved in some of the p-valve UTI cases are not very sensitiv...

Whats the average life expectancy ? Is 10 yrs expectable, or should it be changed more frequently ?

Majority of all dives I use one, I feel its important to stay hydrated. Whats the best way to disinfect ? I have been using 50/50 water and alcohol, although I worry about damaging the seal.

Some-how I managed to come home with yet another set of doubles!!



And a Huge Thanks to Liquivision for the free Tee.

Thanks Dusty, they were just what I needed.

Ooooh backmounted argon doubles mmmmmm

Do you mean to say your not using redundant argon ?

That's pretty deep to be shooting a bag, imo. I definitely prefer the sidewinder style, as opposed to an overhead handle. I have a Salvo 400' and Light Monkey 200' which I'm really happy with. I also typically have knots in my line, which is great for overheads. Not sure that's a good idea on reel ...

Help me out here. What does the OP size "regular" fit vs the XL and 2XL?

I'm willing to buy and try his F1s but only if they are going to work with a size 10.5 foot in a turbo sole.

Slipstreams are the amazing ones

Visit to doctor today, prognosis good X-rays and Spirometry report showed nothing conclusive. No Zebra's were found lounging Attributes symptoms to Bronchitis or inhaled irritant. Both regs are in for service as precaution. Thank you everyone for your concern and responses.

Visit to the doctor tomorrow, hasnt cleared up after a week. Bilateral to lungs, unilateral to the upper torso.
