    Rob Stewart and Third Dive

    I am sure I have seen that when looking at the original documents, but I did not remember the 10/20 entered mix and the GF. Hard to blame that on a typo when programming the SW, so I suppose the idea was to minimize the He penalty built in the deco algorithm? On top of a GF 90/90? And a 75 ft/mn...

    My hypoxic incident

    Not quantitative, but the rEvo build checklist has the user closing the O2 tank valve and monitor the pressure drop (due to the CMF orifice). If that happens "slower" than usual (or faster for that matter), this should prompt an actual flow rate measurement. That should translate readily to any...

    Lost white jetfin @Farnsworth Bank

    More likely in the (white) sand at 130+ ft. I guess this is why most of us use black fins :cool: Hey, just trying to help! :wink:

    Virginian diver dead at 190 feet - Roaring River State Park, Missouri

    He points out one thing that was almost as shocking to me as the accident, namely that the first "rescuer" (who was alone as his buddy had split during deco) almost ran into an ox-tox situation himself... Which goes to remind us that everyone can make really basic mistakes under pressure (so...

    Anyone used the Divesoft DSV?

    The main issue for me is finding the right hose orientation, as the BOV has a tendency to flip down mouthpiece downward, which is the opposite of what I typically try to achieve, so this requires a little bit more care than was needed with the DSV. Glad to hear it is lighter than the GG. It...

    Failure to turn the dive

    Not a cave diver and never will be, but I am curious about the reasoning behind "With CCR I could have stayed another 3-4 hours waiting until clear water and/or searching for missing diver". That sounds very much like the TrueDive philosophy of "plan for your maximum bottom time"...because a...

    Anyone used the Divesoft DSV?

    rEvo diver here with a Divesoft BOV. Service locally by a trained technician, so no need to ship to FL. The BOV works fine (but admittedly not tested in critical situation just yet). Cons: - pulling a negative is a bit trickier, since the seal is made by the reg's valve. You need to plug the...

    Diver missing - Longstone Island, England

    I am not versed in forensic, but for a body to show up hundreds of miles from the place the diver was last seen, it would seem that it had to float and drift there. This leads to two possibilities (and variants): the diver made it to the surface and remained there, or the body started at the...

    New charges for Sotis (Add helium)and Emilie Voissem (Nexus Underwater)

    Even when the rebreather is built like a tank? Which brings the related question: can a turtle be considered a half submarine?
