I hope is stays that way. I am not in favor of scuba police. Really it is worse than that. We would have regular police enforcing rules that they had no experience with.

I suspect you could feed the majority of the O2 through a simple solenoid valve and only fine tune with a proportional valve.

Quick work

I may not agree with you on lots of things but I really appreciate that you do what you do on a "not for profit" basis. I don't know what you live on.

No you are not an instructor.

I have what I think is a Cornelius compressor with a gas motor. I will never use it. If you are interested I could try to find model numbers.

The Oceanic's I have can be set to not go to 50% for MOD purposes.

And there is the nitrox course in a nutshell.

This is my assumption. If I go up to a stranger and ask for air they will give me air but then they will be looking at my gauges, and looking at their computers and heading for a safety stop. There will not be someone swimming from diver to diver borrowing air unless they all know what is going on.

I am in full agreement. But for a new diver looking on it would be hard to tell. An experienced diver would note the lack of concern.

Nope, but consensual is where I would draw the line. And I suspect that everybody who shared air in this incident was in on the game.

Please explain why chronic, casual, consensual air sharing is a bad thing? People looking on, as the OP was, do not have a clear idea of what is happening. I'm not talking about OOA. The OP assumed that the diver receiving air was OOA, simply because they were sharing air. I am confident, from...

So you think it is bad to be good at sharing air?

I am OK with it, if the people involved are OK with it. People looking on may not know that the people involved are in on the game.

Who said she was a stranger to them?

Where did it say she would hold her breath? You are making things up.

Then they separate onto their own regs and go to the surface.

If it was an instabuddy, yes. Do you see evidence that it was? I'm sure new divers have watched us and thought the same thing, but they are jumping to conclusions.

"I didn't notice until about the 3rd dive but one diver would start sharing air with her buddy towards the end of the dive. Then the diver started jumping from diver to diver to share their air until we surfaced." Do you see anything that says the diver was OOA?

I am not trolling, I am 100% serious. Can you answer?
