    Rebreather NSS/CDS report from death at Peacock earlier this year.

    Yes you can potentially go through A LOT of gas with a CO2 hit

    Deco dive with divers on different back gas

    Except when it isn't... This woman never exceeded 1.4 and clearly toxed at 145ft on 24/25. https://iucrr.org/more/accident-analysis/incident-reports/incident-list/2007-07-14-incident/ There is a very good reason many folks dive with 1.2 on the bottom or even less.

    Rebreather NSS/CDS report from death at Peacock earlier this year.

    I don't know it's not mentioned nor would it necessarily 100% prevent this misassembly error. Not really, CO2 is insidious and is often insensible until you're in a runaway respiration scenario

    How important is panel valve directionality?

    The sherwood valves work fine. I would suggest installing them so the gas flow direction is out when the bank is draining. So the gas is pressurizing the HP seat correctly when the valve is closed and the bank bottle is in "storage" mode which is the vast majority of the time. And reversed...

    Deco dive with divers on different back gas

    People have definitely toxed at 150ft on 25/25. Not something I'd make a habit of

    Deco dive with divers on different back gas

    Shrugs so what? The EAN32 diver isn't even on a deco dive at all with 30mins at 100ft. And if you tweak the GFs enough the air diver can get away with 30mins and a stop which basically mirrors a safety stop. Or they could just admit that this isn't a great idea even if it could work and do a 20...

    Light monkey light's

    They are low value as HIDs. But you will also not recoup the cost of converting them to LED with new batteries either. Just sell them as is. Although you may want to save one as a suit heater canister - if you ever travel to the Great Lakes for instance

    What the hell did I just buy?

    Pretty sure its basically a home made compressor using two low volume/high pressure aircraft pumps. I can't ready the filter tower, what size/make/model filter is in it?

    Deco dive with divers on different back gas

    So when 2 divers up with 18/45 and 21/25 for a 150 dive do they just buddy up casually too? Where does this slippery slope end? Part of making a deco dive <PLAN> is ensuring you're both doing the same dive and here we have 2 divers deviating from one of the basics before they even get to...

    Deco dive with divers on different back gas

    And you all keep going on about janky work arounds instead of just saying "nah not diving today". That's what both should do about it instead of asking strangers on the internet. It's a sloppy slippery slope which they already started with this purported 'plan'

    Deco dive with divers on different back gas

    Yes you posted in the wrong forum. Consistent team gas choices are a "before you leave the dock" requirement. Also air is not used, especially for a 100ft deco dive.

    Make the spacer integral with the scrubber. All canisters are matched with only one scrubber using a key-lock system, flanges or integral tabs that only fit one way.

    Rebreather NSS/CDS report from death at Peacock earlier this year.

    The diluent was likely emptied by the diver trying to flush the loop or the loop volume crashing due to extremely high respirations firing the ADV. It's a consequence of the CO2 breakthrough, not a cause. The fact that the make & model of CCR isn't identified is problematic. It's entirely...

    Question Check valve for booster

    Just buy them new from a proper reputable supplier with viton rings. If you really want, for tiny hard to work with parts like this, you can use a one-step degreasing process like an 90% + isopropyl alcohol wash followed by forcing clean air through them to dry. But that isn't really necessary...
