Yeah, you'd think that would work. Except it doesn't. Matheson, Airgas, Praxair, and a couple other small specialty gas suppliers here will not sell helium outside of medical and established account holders. Believe me, I bought a new engine drive a week ago and asked to put a T of UHP on it as...

None of my local gas suppliers can even get helium outside of their medical customers and long-standing account holders. Literally the hospitals and the shop that makes UH-60 Blackhawk parts are the only ones that can get high purity helium. I can beg, borrow, and steal remnants out of the...

Nice dude.

EVERYTHING on a boat is an accelerant. Resin/epoxy impregnated plywood, polyurethane foam like KevinNM mentioned, etc. As for lithium battery fires, there's plenty of evidence in this thread showing just how energetic they can be. The NASA rover video is a good demonstration of how quickly and...

Guys! Stop it! Brad's just enlightening us to the superiority of the OSEL product. After all, if all you ever dive is a pdf, it will always be better than anything else on the market! He's lucky the TOS protects him from what people really think.

They're fundamentally different units. There's no "nuance" between them, they operate in a completely different manner, and something like the weight of the loop hoses or what mouthpiece each unit comes with is so far down the list compared to the BIG differences. It's like asking for the...

Are there specific differences that you're interested in? They're significantly different units in terms of their method of operation and their operating principle.

I doubt special gas rules for photography or videography would make much of a difference in most cases since every dive may be different. I think a far better solution is a well-defined set of roles whenever the intention is to film/survey/etc. Camera guy is camera guy. That's it. Pressure and...

Gag straps work when you have a buddy. Without a buddy, the confluence of circumstances the would have to occur for a gag strap to enable a self rescue are pretty close to impossible. That's not a condemnation of gag straps, I have them on both rebreathers, but the idea that having a gag strap...

Curious what software version you're running. They changed the way MOD and alarms work in the latest software release.

Not necessarily, if you were working hard you would have to add more often than you normally would. And if you had a rather low bottom PO2 for whatever reason. If you had a needle valve and you hadn't opened it enough or it had accidentally closed, the addition rate wouldn't be what was...

I have heard of a case where a diver diving an mCCR went hypoxic while heavily working and passed out. Because he went from a working level of consumption to basically none, the unit was still leaking O2 into the loop, and he reached a point where the PO2 was high enough and he regained...

Depends on the application. Technical diving backup light? Get the twist, it's harder to activate accidentally. Easy recreational night dives or poking into nooks and crannies? Whichever floats your boat. Button will be more convenient, and usable with one hand.

Like the non-user serviceability, counterlungs and RMS? :rofl3::rofl3::rofl3::rofl3::rofl3::rofl3::rofl3: Sell that POS and buy an SF2 already!

For those of us that don't speak legalese, or the implications of staying the case, how about a little explanation of what this potentially means other than simply a pause in proceedings?

Joel Silverstein's operation is out in Lake Havasu City. He's been around the block. It might be worth getting ahold of him. I've never met him personally however, this isn't an endorsement, just information.

Kindly refrain from reposting that piece of trash, fraudulent, utterly ******** piece of “research” on this site. Reply if you want. I’d be more than happy to take part in a discussion.

Super cool! Thanks for posting this. It's very interesting!

Not uncommon.
