    CO problem in tanks

    How can water in the tank cause CO? Could a tank that is drained right before a fill also cause an issue? In theory the air inside should be dry so draining shouldn't cause condensation.

    Rescue vs Self-Reliant

    Ways to curb bad hubby... Go on a night dive but you are the only one with a light... give him a tank with no SPG that he can see. Give him a 40CF tank to dive with. Make him dive with no fins. AKA something that he takes for grated but wont kill him that you have. When he realizes that...

    Quality of Air or Nitrox issue?

    I was on a trip and stopped by a new to me dive shop for a tank fill of 32% The next day went for a dive at about the 30 foot mark 10 min or so I was a little dizzy for maybe 30 seconds or so kind of felt like I was in a washing machine kind of felt like it was the current moving me around...

    Sealed VS piston regulators.

    I currently have an older Zeagle branded Apeks built sealed 1st stage, 50-d comes to mind. Anyways its a nice sealed regulator and I like the way it breathes. Not that I have owned a bunch.. "only one" but I have used a few rental gear and didn't enjoy them as much. For all I know I have a...

    Scalding hot tanks

    Besides receiving a short fill "amusing not topped off" is there anything explicitly damaging to the tank, like X tank filled always hot will shorten its life? Any damage to the tank or valve buy filling it in 20 seconds? I noticed on some youtube videos of paint ball people that the fill...

    How bad is it if an LDS calls you an “internet diver”?

    I think I would give the guy 1 more chance, call him up and explain that your last conversation with him was less then what you expected and see where it goes. Remember we are all human, if he is a decent guy I assume you will receive an apology and you guys can mend the owner customer...

    Scalding hot tanks

    Anyone know how commercial air and gas supply places fill tanks? You know the full tanks used in comercail applications like helium, Argon, Co2, Hydrogen, 02, etc. How do these places fill their 100's of tanks? David

    Hydro data- steel 72 pressures and REE

    I think you just need to be upfront with the tester. Hey do you have experience in scuba tanks? Do you have experience in galvanized tanks? Do you know they have a special test? By the end of this conversation you will know if the person is up to the task.

    New Tank Hydro

    I assume the tank has a hydro from the factory? Assuming it does I would compare yours to other tanks in the dive shop . I'm not saying this dude is full of **** but a hydro stamp is good for 5 years as you know. Maybe he miss read your tank, I try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt...

    LDS and Nitrox fills.

    So Being the OP I really appreciate the posts and conversations that are going on. Just for info I am a newer "this year" nitrox certified diver, so part of my Q is to know how divers have to interact with their LDS. My previous experience with 3 other dive shops with actually fills is I...

    LDS and Nitrox fills.

    I guess the issue I had is I asked for 32% and expected 32% how my tank ended up full with 32% I felt was the operators job and responsibility as that is what I was paying for. If they decided that they needed to drain and fill then ok, if they felt they could pump some 02 in to bump up my tank...

    LDS and Nitrox fills.

    So I walked into a new dive shop to me a few days ago as I need a fill and needed to shop for a few things. I asked how much a fill would be and they had a chart on the wall showing all the difference pricing. First it was broken down to size of tank, LP or HP then Air, 32% and then Custom...
