A standard escape trunk can be used as a hyperbaric chamber, if necessary, but it would be clunky. Now that was from back in the '60's on a normal sub. All bets are off for the "spook" subs, and the Ohio conversions to littoral operations, which are in the business of completing special...

Of course it is, one can choose to learn a skill without involving an instructor or certification, however if one wants a recognized certification by an agency, there should be a knowledgeable instructor following a course of training that will give the necessary skills to the student, while...

There are some operators that require certain cards, but the only common practice is a business selling classes, by saying you need them. oh, by the way its WRSTC.

The analogy, if you want one, is to tell a new driver they can only drive 25mph, until they get their next cert.

It depends on the boat, although I got the cards, I have yet to be asked for anything other than an OW, regardless of the depth of the dives. However, I'm old, and can get grumpy, so perhaps they were just avoiding a confrontation. I know that's done in the tech world, but I haven't seen it...

He gave me this reference, but I could not find exactly he was actually referencing so I moved on. May be you have a better way of finding it. Please let me know what turns up.

You could probably get a canister of them, is that close enough.

That's the way it worked, my buddy would let me know when he was going to use them, otherwise I could use them as my own. I had other tanks, but his were different, so I got to try them out.

I'd be looking for more space. Do you have friends? I've stored tanks for friends, more than once, for space reasons.

Ya got to do it to get it, and also pay. Find a better card.

Sorry Don, but your classic car is now lumped in with all the lowriders in your state. That age and style car is being used by a completely different demographic than than the old mom and pop grocery wagon it used to be. Hate to say it, but you may be better off finding a newer old car.

The instructors I have dealt with have been more than happy to have past rescue students participate in their ongoing classes. First evaluate how well the class was run and how well they covered the material, at a 100+ dives you should have no problem with that. A good instructor should be...

Then shame on them. Unfortunately, some people equate success only with $$$.

And at a later time we can discuss the merits of that, however, if they are so stupid that their actions injure or kill others, then action needs to be taken. It's still a right thing, or as I was told by my father, more than once, "don't you ever listen to a f'n word I say"?

Because everyone has one handy. :wink:

I use fishing split rings, they are stainless and you can get them in any size, also they are inexpensive.

Does the dry bleed work properly? If it doesn't, there is no replacement part, other than finding a reg with one that works.
