I agree with the sentiment expressed elsewhere that the Cis-Lunar Mk5p was the Cadillac of CCr's. I am considering aquiring a DSV with a built in bailout regulator for my Inspiration. I have seen Bob Howells nice new unit, and I hear Divematics makes a unit that uses the US Divers Micron 2nd...

We still have some tidbit remnants of the US Constitution left that allows use to excercise a tiny bit of our right to keep and bear arms, but the government technically has no business demanding dive stores disclose who is interested in rebreathers. The government is utterly incapable of...

Spectre, I will have you know that as a closed circuit rebreather diver, I don't bubble.....unless of course I am venting counterlung gas expansion upon ascent.... ;)

In the US, we're not a democracy, we're more like an anarcho-syndicalist commune. Politicians take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely...

Aside from technical legalities, (it is a crime to be in any kind of small business in California or New Jersey)is there any advantages to using OMS cylinders? Such as do they carry more gas, or are they lighter, if so by how much, and is there are their different bouyancy characteristics...

Being an Italian word, it is pronounced just as it would be if it were a Spanish word. Here is the phonetic pronunciation: Mar- es You must roll the r once. the res is pronounced just the way it is. it is not rays. Funny how I stumbled across this question as a couple of day ago I...

I finally got my factory AP cylinders today and I noticed a different valve on them. Specifically, my instructors OMS tanks had din valves with this squarish projection sticking upwards, or downwards since the cylinders are upside down. I could have enlarged the valve handle clearance port...

Mike, I have noticed that if my p02 setpoint is 1.3 or higher, it injects too frequently when 10 feet or shallower. I was told to keep my p02 at bottom around .7 to reduce my oxygen toxicity clock and CNS obligations for multi dives especially the multiday stuff I have coming up. Once...

Mine is called the 2 p02 2 fo2 version, so I guess that means it can be used for semi closed circuit f02 rebreathers like the Dragers, or used for fully closed circuit rebreathers like my Inspiration based upon p02. I THINK I am supposed to set the computer to switch over to a predetermined...

Root word is to Inspire. Sorry, but I am a stickler for spelling, although perhaps the way I type I shouldn't throw stones in glass houses! I just recently got my Inspiration and padispro is right, there are no restrictions on it whatsoever, as it it is not classified as a military...

Does anyone use a Cochran Gemini P02 dive computer? I am still trying to figure out how to deploy it.....

They use dual redundtant pure oxygen rebreathers with full atomospheric controls including liquid coolers: "The PLSS consists of a backpack unit permanently mounted to the hard upper torso of the suit and a control-and-display unit mounted on the suit chest. The backpack unit supplies oxygen...

ScubaBee and other women: I am not sure why it is percieved that us guys don't care about toilet seat, but your mother's ritual has de rigeur for me since I can remember. No toilet seat that isn't my home seat gets to kiss my bare buns...the thought of it touching a public toilet seat...

ANDI is to be robustly applauded for refusing to give out others and my confidential information, considering I didn't authorize such. I was told by a PADI instructor that PADI gave the list to the FBI.......spineless cowards.......... The government has no business spying on people...

I hear that the guy who designed this ended up designing the Phibian http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1846760882

I will echo the sentiments of others. I have a Viking vulcanized rubber drysuit which I really like, and the second one I purchased was without the attached hood. The Viking separate hood is specific to drysuits and it is a really warm hood. I do need to pop a hole in the top to relieve air...

Looks like they are using a KISS valve system. Halcyon Operating Description http://www.hamlinphoto.com/pro/RB2.jpg http://www.hamlinphoto.com/pro/RB1.jpg

After careful thought, I believe this question is best asked here as rrebreather guys hang out here more then the computer forum... I have a new Cochran Gemini 2F02-2P02 model. Dumb question time....I just know in a few months I will see this question and cringe, but here goes: How does...

I can bring my knees to my chest in shorts.......I dive a Viking Pro vulcanized rubber suit. The rubber is flexible enough. I just downsized to the next smaller suit. I can squat down to my knees, but it pulls across the knees. I don't really need to be able to draw my knees to my chest.....I...

Rob, What is the diving like in front of the resort you have? Also, just to be safe, is there a recompression chamber available somewhere and how does one get there in an emergency?
