    Advice - Pony/Bailout Bottle

    Gotta say, I find this whole thread humerous. I only caught one person out of all those posting who suggests the most important question, what do you need it for? Experienced divers all know "Bailout" is not a complete answer. There are a number of reasons why, but the simplest is that we do...

    Sensorcon CO analyzer without using the scuba adapter kit?

    Not sure what the concern is. This is the kit that comes with the Sensorcon CO sensor. Nothing more than a .5 lpm flow restrictor and a blow by valve, plus a couple of connectors.

    Why have CO analyzers been removed from the market

    Sensorcon works fine when used properly. Most people splash CO in front of it and then complain it isn't reading properly. Instead, set a flow across the sensor at around .5 lpm, hit the max button, and let run for ~30 secs. I have two that I run in line with my blending sticks, as wells as a...

    Sensorcon Carbon Monoxide Inspector Users

    So, went ahead and recalibrated both of mine. Reset at 0ppm (walk outside and shake a minute) then run 50ppm calibration gas at .5 lpm for 1 minute. A week later, both are responding as expected to 15 ppm and 150 ppm bump gases, meaning they detect CO at appropriate levels. For accurate...

    Drysuit condom catheter sizing help & questions

    Hroark, We have a special sizing tool in our shop called a Wadsunn. You stick your member in and the volume of the hum returned is directly related to the size inside the cavity. Kind of a Volume displacement measurement for your unit. Your shop may have one as well.!!!

    Being pushed into buying gear - Is this normal?

    Industry statistics presented by DEMA over the years have stated that, something like, 70% of those who learn to dive quit within the first 3 years. (yes, I am recollecting, if you want to challenge, go download the survey and correct me). I've actually heard numbers as high as 95%. Along with...

    Next Computer

    So interesting timing on this string. While at DAN last evening, one of the questions asked was, "When will you do an analysis of the differing algorithm and provide real data on which should be selected, and when." Dr. Pollack had an interesting response. First off, I should state that these...

    I bought a few RM wide bands last year. If you buy through a distributor, they don't care about a prescription. ~$1.30 per at 144 count.

    Can VPlanner be used for repetitive dives?

    So, now that you know that you can, you may want to look at MultiDeco, also by Ross Hemingway. With Multi, you get all the features and function of VPlanner, plus the added benefit of Buhlmann for comparison purposes. Tools are good!

    "Why I Don't Have a Boat", by Scuba Steve.

    I'll stay a boat owner as well. The only reason my boat was more expensive than an equal amount of charters last year was the amount of trips they cancelled!! 21' Sea Ox Cuddy, adequate room for 4 divers, 12 tanks and 50 comfortable miles. Fortunately, Ramps are free in NC (at least, where I am)...

    Booster considerations- Can A nitrox booster be safe for O2???

    Sorry, I thought I was clear. While a Nitrogen booster, it has been cleaned using O2 seals and lubricants. The unit was also disassembled and O2 cleaned at the component level. The only difference is the compression ratios.

    Solo Diving in the ocean in your own boat?

    21 Foot SeaOx Cuddy with a single 200 HP, Radar and Radio. Because it is a single engine, I don't like going out much more than 30 miles, especially here in NC where the weather can change substantially over 2 hours. My offshore distance is additionally regulated by weather trends. Typical...
