unfreaking believable! the years of hard work fun and running lines into the forest to have it end. It was one of the best places to walk in, hit the water and achieve 150-200'. Another dive site taken over. Sad situation all around.
I have not been "on the loop," as much as others on here have but...as far as a buddy check goes, it seldom happens unless there is a kit up issue. All of my group seems to go into their own "bubble" when going over their / our predive checklist. Very little to none distractions happen, to...
Not the same with rebreathers. On open circuit, valve is not on or not fully on and you take a breath or two the needle drops due to the pressure drop. With a rebreather, mine if mainly full manuel, it does not matter how many breaths you take because the decrease in pressure only take place...
Chris Green, thanks for your continuous service. I am guessing Futenma. Got about 9 years there. My oldest daughter, 15, just got certified 19 years after I did at the same place...Maeda Point! HMS-36 and later MALS-36

Yea, maybe a little out of line but when you are questioned about your knowledge, it kinda hits home especially when it is your profession. I’ll let it go, will not post again on this thread. So sad that those of us who are professionals in the field of respiratory and professional divers are...
You are joking right? I have probably forgotten more about Respiratory than you will ever know. So to put it out there, a RRT , Tech. DM, rebreather, trimix, full cave etc.
Fair enough. You used the word heliox and that threw me off a bit. So, as a Respiratory Therapist, we have learned that N2 is an inert gas but it does have a purpose. It pretty much stents open the alveoli and adds in proper gas exchange.
You could have stopped at that. I really value each and every diver’s opinion but when someone comes out post “facts” I’ll call them on it. So please give rjack321 a chance to post his resources. I am not a “Know it all,” and will be the first to say that I am wrong if I am.
