Blender class

Why would you produce with PP?

I don't know, that's why I asked...

I’ve been PP blending for some time but considering a stick because it seems safer and easier to use all the O2 out of the tank. I’ve read it’s a little tougher on the compressor, not sure that’s significant. My primary hesitation has been that I typically only fill one tank at a time and figured it would be mostly full by the time I got the setting right.

Any thoughts?

edit: apologies if this is off topic or distracting from the OP’s question.

I have never blended gasses, hence why I'm asking about the class.

The U-853 was the exact dive I was thinking with 28.

I don't do a lot of nitrox which is the other reason I was wondering if just PPB would be best two tanks at a time for my occasional nitrox.

Please execuse delays I've been having a lot of issues with this site and my phone the last few days.

Where did you read that? The pumps in cave country run for many hours every day pumping 32% and live normal lives.

Why don't you do a lot of nitrox diving? If you are regularly diving deeper than 50-60ft you should be diving nitrox all the time. Just leave them full of your preferred mix. PPB blending is insanely inefficient and irritating to deal with since you either have to breathe the tanks down and strategize that and whether you do that or not, unless you have a booster you have to bleed it down anyway. Very wasteful.
