Millbrook is dead, the owners of the property use it for construction dirt coming and going and it washes into the quarry. Scuba can't compete with the easy dirt money. I just heard that the shop that used to have the lease (Coral Edge Adventures) is no longer. I did my CCR training with them...

If there was a good low energy way to detect a diver bobbing at the surface it seems like having a drone swarm that could scan in a pattern systematically would be the way to rapidly get er done for the coast guard or whomever.

CCR?

Same experience I have. Well, I will pack it and use it at quarry then when I get home to clean it and dispose of the sorb I notice it is sold by weight not volume. It came with a sponge for the top and to be fair mine is pretty thin and original.

Whaaaat? So there are two hard drives in a safe? They have been watching the site to make sure no one ganks em? Crypto wallets? Odd.

Some units are spring loaded and compress the sorb I think? I think the inspo did that. The prism2 I dive has a spring that keeps the sorb canister against an o ring, but no heavy spring to keep sorb compressed inside the sorb canister — just a thin foam thing.

I bought three units before getting certified. Didn’t dive the eccr until certification, but dove the 100% o2 unit in a pool before. I read the Mastering Rebreathers book by Bozanic and used the NOAA book and tables for the o2 unit. Navy also publishes book for free. I could never get training...

Well Tursiops, if ya didn’t figure it out it is someone that knew the deceased and likely believes the survivor was involved in foul play. Most likely grieving over the loss. Wonder what court case looks like. This was the training class where the lady went off the back of the metal training...

Was curious about this one since it's a park that has been on my radar as I have friends in Raleigh. Google search led to facebook post that indicated CCR diver, unit sent of for analysis and buddies believed it unfortunately was a medical event. Cold water, heavy gear, lots of stress I am...

Let’s see the selfie she took

https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/diver-with-serious-injuries-after-water-rescue-on-old-quarry-road-in-wendell-sheriffs-office-says/ Passed away from injuries according to update.

I get that, I dive my prism2 somewhat manually doing my own o2 additions trying to beat the computer to any solenoid injection. But I always felt that in some extreme edge case having that alert could be a saver. I guess it would be really annoying when ascending near surface and ppo2 drops...

Will prolonged exposure to desiccant harm the o2 sensors? I have used desiccant in my pelican case with my unit when storing it to hold back any mold issues, but didn’t think about cells it at the time. I use normal fan to drive air thru the two hoses and counterlungs and it takes maybe 8...

Help your friends learn, if you think they will listen.

I just thought it would be cool to be able to plug the 4 pin Shearwater handset connector into pressure pot and it just goes. To keep it super simple and compact. I would use less "captive" molex connectors versus the type in the head. Yea, Shearwater won't sell the board. Got email from them...

Hello all! I have a Prism2 and find it kind of a pain to do o2 flush at 20ft. I flush it but still question, did I flush good enough? So I am thinking of building a pressure pot to test my cells. Making a pressure pot, I need to read the cells. I could use a microcontroller and ADC, I could...

Hello! I have a Prism2! My friend (Hey stuartv!) noticed it here on Scubaboard at a decent price so I bought it. I was after the canbus shearwater controllers, and I could get local training. I had an Inspiration with Hammerhead upgrade kit that I bought before training and never could find an...

The water will pick up the lime in it and if you roll around it's possible to get it up to the mouthpiece? Dripping wet lime I would assume would loose scrubbing effectiveness, hypercapnia risk. Also the water can get on the o2 sensors and render those ineffective. Bail out.

Wow, watched the video. That sucks. For those that didn't watch it: The property switched hands, and the new owners were willing to work with them. But there was someone who didn't want their activities there and apparently worked to cause issues to harm the relationship. Sounds like an...

Hello, my comment was in relation to having two mechanical valves before filling the bladder to prevent one from leaking. The double bladder wings are cool though, especially for ccr when it can go super negative if loop is flooded. When I was doing my CCR training, I had a rapid ascent from...
