    Question Change sorb between dives

    Assuming we are talking same day dives. If the first dive is long enough to exhaust the scrubber, I'm starting with fresh sorb. If I'm starting with fresh sorb and exhausting it, I doubt I'm doing a second dive. 4 to 6 hours is a long time in the water to plan a second dive.

    [rEvo] Petrel 2 controller intermittently shows 0.0/low PPO2 for all sensors

    Isn't much. You can see the sealed molex connections and the piece of wrist seal the back end of the sensors rests on.

    [rEvo] Petrel 2 controller intermittently shows 0.0/low PPO2 for all sensors

    I have seen it recommended to coat them in Christo Lube. Problem is it dries out, and it is conductive. So you have to balance water protection with shorting your cells. Haven't found any dielectric grease that is compatible with a breathing environment. All surfaces must be completely clean...

    Question Become an instructor or a rebreather diver?

    My opinion: The reason most breather divers are instructors is because >20 years ago any LDS you walked into would tell you instructor was the top dog baddest of badass diver you could become. Some still do. Now however you are starting to see more technical divers with no professional...

    [rEvo] Petrel 2 controller intermittently shows 0.0/low PPO2 for all sensors

    I solved water issues with my molex connectors:

    100% linear cells that don't fail. Safety and cheaper over the lifetime of the cell than galvanic cells over the same time period.

    Just got a response and it appears they updated their page for us: I'll be ordering one today.

    I messaged as well, but no response. I don't however know any German, so that could cause some issues.

    Skipping open circuit and going straight to CCR

    No, but competency with 2 deco bottles and a stage/travel will greatly simplify your breather training. Most people don't get there until TRIMIX. Most AN/DP classes don't even teach two deco gasses. How do you stress the importance of switch protocol with only one deco gas?

    Mike goes through the new Dive Talk Go

    Trying to figure out if this: "SMB to 2/3 pin Molex connector" is equivalent to the K22D. I have one cell about to die and I would like to replace it with one of these rather than open a new chemical cell.

    Skipping open circuit and going straight to CCR

    Adding to Jim's comment. Having taken AN/DP does not mean you are "highly proficient". It means you now have a license to practice and become proficient. I know of CCR divers that are afraid to bailout because they never learned to "feel" their OC gas consumption/requirements in deco or...

    Didn't realize KISS made different versions. I have the molex splitter board that comes with the SW. K22Ds plug directly into the board. I suppose the better questions is: Will one of these replace a K22D.

    Hijacking my own thread. Does anyone know witch of these if either will plug into the KISS splitter board? https://www.dive2.me/solidstatesensor.html

    Seeking reports on Halo Argon undergarments

    I have the Halo AR. It's way warmer than the Arctic with about the same buoyancy. The big standout for me is the comfort. For the warmth it's the most flexible undergarment I've warn (better than the Arctic)and it simply feels like I'm laying in my bed with not a single hotspot during the...

    O2 Analyzer without decimal

    I would be most concerned about compounding error from not calibrating as accurately, but generally you will still probably land within the margin of error for the cells anyway.

    Mexico diving

    I just got back from 10 days cave diving in MX. I was very happy I made the decision to take my dry suit. With the thin undergarments I used about the same amount of lead I do in the ocean with my 5 mil wetsuit. For me the drysuit is about more than thermal protection. Any good guide will...

    High Springs Intro Training Questions

    Lots of way more experienced people than me commenting here, but if you want to stick with side mount, I expect Joe Seda already has a curriculum for side mount fundamentals given his affiliation with sidemounting.com. I haven't taken any classes with him, but we have spoken on several...

    Sidemount Instructors

    I was referring to this comment. I have hundreds of dives in FL caves surrounded by persons using steel tanks and I have only seen one or two ring systems. The ring system has a steel ring on the bungee and a bolt snap on the tank that clips to it. The ring usually also has a clip to somewhere...
