Aquatic Adventures of MI out of Brighton have a weekly meetup and social dive we just switched to the Sunday fall schedule. always easy to find a dive buddy at these events.
I will be there Sat and hopefully Sun but I am not sure if I have the balls to dive it my dry suit is not here yet and all my diving this year has been in Cozumel and Florida so I am bringing my skirt just incase. :)
Poseidon are very open with any issues on the mark 6 rebreather they have a page on their site that indicates the issues and accident analysis. The just posted in the last day or so of what looks like this issue. that it is under investigation. as soon as they have access to the unit and can...
In Key Largo Big shout out for Silent World Diving. I am from Brighton we have a great shop but too far away from you. Ann Arbor has a couple great stores as well.
The Hollis will not offer same NDL as the Mk6 as it is a semi closed that works of one nitrox gas bottle. it does not control your PPO2 set point in the same way a fully closed rebreather will and hence you will not get the same level of NDL for a multilevel dive.
Is there any chance you could make this a web transmission as well or video tape it and upload to Youtube at later date for those of us who would love to attend but live to far away ??
Thanks SteveP
Hi Sean
When you say deep how deep? and how long?
Rebreather will definitely help you get closer to the animals. It will increase the length of time you stay under water.
If you are of the kind of person who is willing to maintain the equipment and follow all the checklists. then rebreather...
I think I am starting to get a better grip of this as I work through some of the training materials. here is an example to 60ft.
On OC Air to 60ft NDL = 55 mins
On Nitrox 36% (EAD 42ft) = 140 mins
Best mix Nitrox for 1.2 PPO2 is a 43% mix this would get you to same as a rebreather set at 1.2 mix...
Thanks guys for some great information.
This is really helping me better understand.
So see if I am reading this correctly.
1) on a recreational square profile dive probably no bennifit unless I am an air hog and constantly run out of gas. (personally I am not :) )
2) On a multi level Dive I...
Trying to get an understanding of pros V cons of recreational rebreathers such as the Poseidon Mk6
ref comments on extended dive time.
Is this primarily due to not running low on air.
Or due to the better control of PP02 in the rebreather does it actually increase your NDL times??
Eg on Air at...
