This one in particular would seem apropos: Ferrous Cranus ---------- Post added August 4th, 2015 at 04:35 PM ---------- Godwin! /thread

I wonder how many American tourists are flashing victory signs in Nagasaki or Hiroshima...my guess is that the natives would find it tasteless. ---------- Post added August 4th, 2015 at 02:41 PM ---------- You play in your bubble, and we'll play in ours.

Because the CCR kept working, all was fine. Had he had to bail out before/early in deco, yeah, I expect there would have been a note (if he had a slate, which I'm not sure he did). These were not exactly buddy dives where he could just turn to someone else for additional bailout.

A decently cared for SS Minnus would probably be the best bang for the buck. If you're price conscious, better scooters like the Genesis 600 or Piranha are out.

Sure, a BOB SCR would have made a 40 of 32% perfectly reasonable. Or a BOB of any kind, really...which was obviously not present and would have been a good deal more complicated than just bringing another 40 of O2. Point being, the CCR's touted ability to let you "take all the time you need...

Stick it in your pocket, it's small enough.

Yeah, not like there's anything you need to monitor on CCR. That better depend on how much bail-out gas you're lugging with you. Then again, I once watched someone run up a good 45 minutes of CC deco on a dive where he brought a whopping 40cf of 32% for OC bailout and nothing else...the...

Well, there's one...but we try to avoid it.

So why would you put any particular stock in any date he reported the tracking as "promising," given the tracking's track record?

Look, I agree with the gist of your post...but trees eat CO2 and :censored: oxygen. Plants are likely the only form of life that derives any benefit from this guy's continued existence.

For doubles wings, Halcyon donuts come in 40 and 60 lb models; Halcyon horseshoes in 40 and 55 lb models. Roughly speaking, the 40lbs ones are for doubled 7.25" tanks, and the larger ones for doubled 8" tanks.

They seem to be busy taking jubilant group photos at the Arizona memorial.

Which is fine, as long as you don't care about the accuracy of the number it's giving you. Without the volume of the container in which it is measuring pressure changes, ATR will not be accurate in the face of sudden changes in consumption rate.

Please tell us all more about these magical devices that can sense what size tank you're diving....:popcorn: Spoiler: sorry kids, it's really important to program an accurate cylinder volume if you want to rely on an Air Time Remaining calculation you don't understand beyond 'the expensive...

I know this may be shocking to you, but I don't think he said French law was other than as you described it...just that in his experience the law was given about as much respect by French divers as any other piece of toilet paper. In other horrific news for you, many drivers don't obey posted...

Why would anyone want the engineering necessary for that ultra marginal benefit? AA batteries are incredibly cheap, and if you can't reliably open and close a single o-ring sealed compartment every couple months you have problems.

Which is why I suggested cleaning after the trip as a (likely overdoing it but you never know) precaution. If there was O2 on the trip, this wouldn't be an issue.

Given that the O2 is not going anywhere under pressure in the former scenario--namely through the sharp turns of the valve at pressure--it simply isn't. Is it ideal? Obviously not. Would I really worry about "dirty" EAN32 being used to top off an O2 bottle for one trip? Nope.

All true, but they're long dead now. Surveying history, you won't find too many examples of long-enduring cultures who shunned the common tradition of treating enemy dead with basic respect--perhaps because maintaining grudges that long just isn't conducive to the kind of constructive...

If someone can hook me up with some of those, I could really put them to use scaring the :censored: out of tourist groups that dive some of the wrecks I do.
