I've theorized about smokers having reduced CO2 sensitivity. But I think there are other factors. Most smoking divers with great SAC rates I run into are from a generation when smoking was more acceptable and therefore have been diving a very long time. None smoking divers with similar...

Yes it is.

I think I'm going to retrofit my Sidewinder to SMB connectors. The new cell is working as promised. I believe any deviation measured is within the tolerance of my test equipment. Edit typo and removed redundant chart. Also, the dotted line is calculated linearity.

We conversed over email about witch one to select. I thought they understood it need to plug directly into a molex on a PCB. I'll put it in a pressure pot and post the results here.

Six weeks of waiting and I get a cell that won't go in my unit. I don't really consider needing an adapter a like for like swap. Plus I've had more cable/connector failures than cell failures, so adding more wires does not thrill me. I figure my options are try to sell this to you yahoos, or...

@Macfod this was a surprisingly easy procedure. I was fully awake and joking with the doc while watching him poke around in my heart. I had similar symptoms to yourself, with 5 total overt cases and probably hundreds of subclinical cases. I have had no overt or subclinical DCS symptoms since...

Woot!!!!

I was recently told they made the tech "IDC?" quite rigorous, but haven't removed the self certification path, so it's moot.

It works!!! Surprisingly easy.

There are instructors that do fundies level classes for sidemount. Some of them even call it Sidemount Fundamentals.

I actually got sweaty by the time I was hitting the water today. It was around 31f and snowing.

Whou could that be?

Thanks, I didn't even think of trying to put the neck seals on first.

To start I prefer permanently installed dry gloves. With SciTech neck seals I had no trouble getting the neck seals properly fitted with the gloves on. With my new costum DUI with DUI zip seals. The seals are so soft and supple I can't get the neck seals straitened out with my dry gloves...

Putting the hose around your neck reduces jaw fatigue when your using it and improves streamlining when you not using it. I'm not sure why you wouldn't go this route. I've waisted a lot of time trying to engineer a better system just to land in doing it the way most of the world does it anyway.

All classes should be undertaken under the evaluation by a good instructor of your personal skills and mindset. We should also strive to realistically evaluate our own limits as no instructor is perfect. Personally, I think zero to hero TRIMIX is a worse idea than zero to hero cave.

Since your not already AN/DP. I wouldn't plan to do TRIMIX this year. Get some good experience with ANDP level dives first.

I'll second this. I don't want any funk growing in my loop, and it insures every thing gets inspected every day.

Shearwater added these modes because they need to compete with the other manufacturers feature lists. It's all about the recreational diver that is comparison shopping.
