    Yoke regulator switch to DIN

    That's not really an issue in the U.S. No U.S. manufacturers (afaik) make a 200 Bar reg connector.

    PO2 limits...

    Let me try. In any mix of gasses, each gas exerts a certain amount of pressure. Using air as an example, 20.9% of the mixture is Oxygen. 78% is Nitrogen, Argon, Helium and other trace gasses make up the remainder. As Oxygen makes up 20.9% of the mixture, it is responsible for 20.9% of the...

    What makes a master diver?

    I pay for transportation to and from the site. I don't dive boats that insist on putting a DM in the water with me. In fact, I have never been on a boat that put a DM in the water other than to tie into a wreck. If I want assistance at any time I will ask for it. A good DM will know when he...

    What makes a master diver?

    Unless I hired you to lead me in a dive and told you I need supervision, you have NO DM's duty of care to me. Stay away.

    What makes a master diver?

    It wasn't until AFTER the dive that they knew she was a buddieless newbie. During the dive she was a fully qualified solo diver as far as they knew.

    What makes a master diver?

    He said he and his buddy were taking pictures. It is not uncommon for people to follow the guys with the cameras to try to get the same shots they got. To turn the boat crews screw-up and the other solo divers mistake into an error on the side of the only 2 people that weren't let in on the...

    What makes a master diver?

    If that would have been me in the DM position I would have probably done the same thing. AS a DM I have to carry insurance. My dive shop pays for that insurance and unless I am performing duties for that dive shop I am not covered. As for being a "professional diver", yes I am, when I am...

    Double HP100s for Cave or NOT??

    Overfilling an 85 by 10% does not "provide nearly the same amount of gas as the HP100s". It provides 85cft. You have to overfill them to a bit over 3100psi to get 100 cft. That's about a 30% overfill. Not that that is a big deal, just an inaccuracy. I've dove a set of 85s filled to 4000...
