No CO in Coz

[kelemvor]

I tested every tank I dove last week. No CO at all, the only anomaly was one that bounced between 0 and 1 on the analox. Good times!

Which op and who fills their tanks?

 

[DandyDon]

I think a 1 can be written off as operator handling. All my tanks last month were clean, but calibrating my Analox while still docked in the marina was challenging. Too must drifting exhaust I suppose. Once we started moving, it was easy enough.

I'm glad the tanks are staying clean there now, but then they know we are watching closely and will raise hell if we find tainted ones. Still, it's happened before and can again.

If I'm not mistaken, the vast majority of the Coz ops tanks come from a central fill facility.This is good news any way you cut it. And Aaron, it was great to dive with you guys and appreciate your testing on the boat. Nice to have that piece of mind...

If I'm not mistaken, the vast majority of the Coz ops tanks come from a central fill facility.

Meridiano is the biggest there and they do supply many. Several of the larger Ops have their own compressors, and sometime Ops loan tanks to each other. You never know the source for sure.

I believe that kelemvor was with the invasion team, which used Dive Paradise as their Dive Op. DP uses Meriando as their filler. I was down at Meriando this morning helping load tanks and the manager commented that the island must be unusually busy because of the extremely large number takes that DP had filled last week.
Hats off to the SB invasion team, they must of dived thier as#es off to impress the largest fill plant I know of.

I didn't test every tank, but I tested the first few and then the odd ones here and there. Every reading came out zero.

Yep, op was dive paradise. Tanks had Meridiano stickers on them.

I know, it gets boring testing tanks when they all test clean - until you get the first tainted tank.

It's a lot like Russian Roulette. A bad one can show up at any time. I test every tank. With an Analox portable tester, it takes seconds. My first tester took 3 minutes.

Well, good to have the tester handy in case of a bad air injury. I remember a few people getting hurt on Coz one year and they couldn't even find a tester to check the tanks after the fact.

Who has failed us with tainted tanks before, even after they got a free Analox inline CO monitoring system. It was apparently installed without auto-stuff off - just an alarm that could be ignored.

Just for clarity, I believe that was a dive op that filled their own tanks. Not Merry-D or Linn Mar. (Nor Aldora as they weren't making that sweet air yet.)
