It's not always obvious, but the non-profit part of DAN that provides barotrauma medical advice, education, training, etc. is separate from the for-profit insurance arm of DAN.

I did go back and reread your original post the other day, and one thing struck me strictly from a legal sense. IANAL, nor am I Canadian, and I do think drawing up a basic will at least showed you had your family's best interests at heart during a (let's face it) massively stressful time. That...

Why were they kneeling/standing?

I can confirm that the H 300 BAR manifolds/single tank valves are DIN-only. The depth of the valves are too deep to fit a yoke over. IIRC, only the 232 Bar DIN manifolds/single tank valves with the shallower thread depth will work with the "convertible" yoke inserts.

Sold! Thanks, gbm!

The US of A is the land of the free. The OP is free to buy his own tanks and carry them wherever he goes diving, which he said he didn't want to do. :eyebrow: Or you can use a DIN-to-yoke converter. I did for a long time before I threw in the towel and got a yoke reg for single tank diving...

I did the DIN thing with the yoke adapter for quite a while, but eventually gave up on it as I do a lot of dive travel which means using someone else's tanks. Also the yoke adapter moves the regulator on a single tank rig closer to the back of your head, which I also got tired of. Very...

My point was that when you said dive insurance or health insurance shouldn't cover the OP's chamber rides: That's an ironic position to take where there are those who would say the same thing about rebreather divers such as yourself.

Says a guy who dives a modded "box of death" CCR?

If "inattention" causes you to overstay your NDL, I'd suggest taking less gas, not more. Plan your dive, dive your plan.

That's why the NWO built their headquarters under the Denver airport... :rofl3:

Congratulations, you've mastered the slippery slope argument. In IT I see computers of all types fail every day. The ones that sit on your desk, the big ones that sit in server rooms or data centers, and the embedded variety that sit inside a device not terribly different from a dive computer...

This. I got the same email, and didn't connect the dots to Blue Angel until I read this thread. I've emailed Blue Angel (obviously!) in the past but I don't remember if it was a discussion I had with Jeanie or someone else. I'll have to check when I get home.

If they are going to carry firearms in the line of duty, then they damned well better practice using them. Why a NOAA official would need to carry sounds like a separate question.

:rolleyes:

Look how that turned out for P. Sherman: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3:

I believe beaverdivers' posts were needlessly repetitive, starting with the 13th post through the 35th post. Obvious passive aggressiveness is obvious.

A boat that limits trips to six divers (known as a six-pack) does so because the boat doesn't have to submit to USCG inspections like larger vessels do. That doesn't make them bad or unsafe, but the whole "to differentiate themselves" angle is just spin. Charter Boat Captain Information -...

I'm calling BS. What dive op are you saying this was with?
