    Question Where do you get oxygen cylinders filled?

    Extra moisture in the desiccant shortens the filter life. If sending O2 directly to tanks as in boosting or PP blending, aviators is the wise choice.

    Question Where do you get oxygen cylinders filled?

    20+ years of knowing it. Moisture in an airplane at 20,000 feet freezes O2 lines. No moisture in hospital O2 irritates lungs. Common sense.

    Question Where do you get oxygen cylinders filled?

    Medical O2 has moisture in it. Aviators has no moisture in it. It may all come from the same source but the aviators O2 is dry, or at least drier. You don't want to put moist gas in your scuba system for obvious reasons, but you do want moist gas in a medical O2, again for obvious reasons.

    I would just tell the story as you did here, maybe a bit more detail. If the shop staff was rude, I'd sure want to know.

    Ear infections every year

    What do make your ear beer out of? I use 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar. If I don't use Ear beer, I get ear infections from freshwater spring diving.

    Half-packing sorb -- Possible, or deadly?

    When you turn upside down the sorb will fall from the bottom of the scrubber to the top. Loose sorb like that is equivalent to no sorb at all.

    Conch poaching in Marine Park

    When the Mariel Boatlift happened in 1980 we had a fairly stable and large number of Queen Conchs in the Florida Keys. Most "Conchs" feel that these people wiped out the Queen Conchs in the keys.

    Conch poaching in Marine Park

    Uh-Huh. Of course they would while loading the conchs into their Contender. Just like I have the right to catch and keep 6 inch hogfish and undersize lobster. :76feet:

    Dive Boat Capt. Guilty

    McCabe deserves a lot of jail time. He SHOULD have foreseen the potential for the accident and resulting death of his passenger based on what happened the day prior to the fatality.
