    Which do you think is less dangerous at 160ft? Open-circuit air or CCR trimix?

    Unless you start ascending, especially in the shallows, then it's a lot quicker than you think it would be.

    Aquatek Scuba. Edmonton

    Looks like a pretty beefy motor on it. Probably gets people to places real quick.

    Looking for dive shops and opportunities in Halifax and Sydney Nova Scotia

    If you are in each area for just a day, nobody does 3 dives a day there. I've never dove with East Coast Scuba but they seem pretty good. For the Sydney area, Harv Morash out of Louisburg is as solid as they come. See if he can fit you in when you are up there. https://www.louisbourgscuba.com/

    Jack Madro. There's a name I haven't heard in years and years. I used to teach at his shop when he had one in Edmonton.

    When my dad was in Boy Scouts, he dived some helium mix with navy divers in a pool and he got sick after

    Don't know, don't care. Just trying to dispel the myth that all balloon grade helium has O2 in it. Even one of my gas supply guys stated that as fact until I showed him the analysis. He said he "heard it from some guy" and believed it. As are most myths that are perpetuated without a basis in...

    CCRStands still around?

    It's 14cm high. My Kent Tooling one is 16 cm and I thought it was a bit too long.

    Not necessarily. I've had balloon helium and analyzed it before use. Last one the O2 was less than 1%.

    CCRStands still around?

    Here are pictures of my Kent stand and my Michel Charriere stand for my Tiburon. As I mentioned I didn't put the handle on my Kent stand. Don't need it. Kent stand without the handle is just over 7lbs. MC stand is 2.5 lbs. The weight is important to me as I fly quite often and weight limits are...

    First travel w/ rebreather. Tips?

    I do this ( i throw in a few business cards into all my check in stuff) but I just found out security folks will call you at your gate if there are any questions. At least this is what happened in November when I flew to Greece from Calgary. Called me to the wicket and the security guy had a...

    First travel w/ rebreather. Tips?

    Meg Tiburon (previously a KISS Classic) traveler. I pack two extra cells. Always. More batteries. When I go to somewhere like Bikini I usually change Orings ahead of time. I always bring an extra Shearwater controller. Because of my camera gear I have to pack my head in my check in assembled...

    Oxygen toxicity studies

    I've talked to Sawatzky and Pollock. Both say the CNS clock is a crock.

    Oxygen on surface

    No. I don't and I don't see it done by others, except one guy that I dive with and he only does it once in a while.

    Then why not just ignore this thread instead of trolling? Do you get your jollies out of asking asinine questions about cigars and solo? Just let it go man.

    Tips for installing loop cover?

    Soak it. Stretch with a car as noted previously. Put it in the oven at 375F. Bake for one hour. Remove. Let cool. Throw in the trash. Forget that you ever thought you needed one in the first place.
