    Graph of Air vs Nitrox vs Tank Limit

    ok, I follow you on that - this however indicates that you are not using a SCR to do your math, rather an average of your diving... Hmm - interesting. If I was going to do anything to this I think that I would make it based on SCR for consumption input and I would set the sheet up to do the...

    Type of Steel Tanks?

    Well, I am with you on that one - I guess I am pretty spoiled since I have good air - not all shops around here do (we are mainly concerned with oil though). I guess it perhaps comes down to just how well you take care of your tanks - and that is a personal habit thing I think and not...

    How to Tell Your Dive Buddy is a Newbie!

    I don't get it Butch - I thought looking like you and Syruss was merely an indicator that there would likely be free gear for the taking at the end of the dive... Big T

    Solo diving: the safety of self-reliance

    Hey AA, Thanks - that's what they looked like to me - I just didn't want to sound like a fool - As far as the Solo diving goes - Good luck -I hope you stay safe. I guess I could form an opinion on this but I have been a hefty violator of rules in the mountain world and could not preach to...

    What's that smell?!

    When in doubt be flattered... I was meaning that it would be very handy for me to be able to get a puff on the BC so you can be ressusitated to something pleasant... Merely attempting to please here... :) Big T

    Connecting Octopus and computer to reg

    Sorry Dee, I specifically have you in mind for that image - I know that ID prefers a pattern of sorts and that is obviously not an option here... Just let me know when you have the suit ready and I will get my camera and 3 assistents ready to go - oh and the water here is still balmy 57...

    Type of Steel Tanks?

    Ahh yes, you're so right - my tanks are not ho dipped on the inside - but then again - I don't usually put any water in them either so it seems to not be a big issue - consider that I dive on clean dry air only and therefore the issue of rust inside a tank is pretty much a moot point to start...

    What's that smell?!

    Better make is fancy lookin'... I already secured maself a fine bottel of listerine and wil not be needing your stuff unless it also helps improve my social life... Since I may occasionally be inhaling this from my BC, perhaps you could ad some of that "Luuve potion"??? Thanks, Big T

    What's that smell?!

    Obviously we better get out of the way of ID, he is on his way to Costco to grab the monster size container of listerine and a thousand of the little bottles... Now all he needs is a printer to print some labes and a rep to take it to the dive shops... Come to think of it - you may want to ad...

    Graph of Air vs Nitrox vs Tank Limit

    Interesting - Could you define what you average DCR is based on? Also - a question - how would a presumed DCR of 2 mirror doubles? Big T

    Type of Steel Tanks?

    Wannabe - They are different manufacturers - with different processes - it is comonly believed that brand X is better than anything else - I'm no scientist and have no hard data so I will not go into that. However - a couple of observations: it appears that serious tech divers primarily...

    DIN vs. Yoke

    Ya - get the DIN setup on your regs - you will also get the converter so you can dive your current tank and it is very handy when you go on a boat or want to rent since they have yokes most always. As far as GUE goes - You would be safe grabbing an Apeks TX50 (the TX100 has a funky 1st stage...

    ScubaPro MK20/S550 vs Zeagle ZX/50D???

    Hi NS Diver, I know this is after the fact - but I just wanted to give you my two thoughts on this - First - I think it is a toss up - not because I am convinced that these are equal regulators - I dive older scuba pro mk20/G250 but that is a different story. The reason I think it...

    Connecting Octopus and computer to reg

    Well, i think I am one of the people who go either way - but I agree with TexasMike and Joewr in general. Here is some reasons: 1st - if you need to ask about assembling it - maybe it is not the best idea to jump into life support equipment - now if you had asked about say - a BC -...

    What's that smell?!

    There is something called "BCD Life" I think for the BC. But I have to say that ID's suggestion of using mouthwash makes much more sense... It would come in very handy when JustJules is in my rescue class... :) Big T
