    what kind of diver are you?

    I dive exclusively in fresh water springs and cenotes in Florida and Mexico. I dive manifolded back double LP85s in a wetsuit and own my own gear. My wife dives with me. We are both working towards cave certification.

    Cavediver.net

    I have been a web developer since 1998. I have seen pages in their half rendered state such as the screenshot that was posted more often on worse connections. Increased connection speeds tends to reduce the frequency with which this happens.

    Covid's impact on your diving ...

    I've been diving more with my wife and haven't been able to dive at all with my dive buddy. My wife is now considering getting her cave cert along with me.

    You GOTTA have insurance

    I am a single issue voter. I believe universal healthcare will be a monumental step forward in American society and I vote for whoever says they will move us in that direction.

    You GOTTA have insurance

    People who are opposed to universal healthcare always argue that society can't possibly afford it. However, many countries do find a way to afford it. Perhaps we could shift our budgetary priorities away from military, prison, corporate tax breaks etc...? If society does not come together soon...

    Want to build a tank storage rack

    I want to build a tank table kinda like at the Florida springs but would be hanging off of a wall in my garage rather than free standing.

    Should I dive in shallow waters without a certification?

    Just make a kickstarter or something to raise funds for certification. I am sure people on this board (including me) would help you pay for your certification. If we can find a reputable teacher in your area, verify everything is legit and that you took the course and passed, I am sure we can...

    Sleeping in the tropics.

    To keep out mosquitoes, consider adding a screen vestibule... an additional door / screened in porch outside of the main door.

    Sleeping in the tropics.

    I need it to be about 67F (19C) to sleep at all. I also need it absolutely dark and silent. A ceiling fan helps as long as it is a quiet DC motor fan that has no odd vibrations to it. I would never book lodging without knowing it had these conditions.

    How would my air consumption change on double 50s vs 85s?

    I think maybe I just open up the knobs on the regulator all the way and probably don't need to. Also I need to lose 60 lbs.

    How would my air consumption change on double 50s vs 85s?

    So is my math right or wrong?

    How would my air consumption change on double 50s vs 85s?

    Here are some numbers from a recent dive: Duration: 29 minutes Average Depth: 34 ft Starting PSI: 2960 Ending PSI: 2058 Calculated SAC: 16 (ROUNDUP(((2960-2058)/29)/(34/33+1))) Let's hope I calculated SAC correctly. My maximum calculated SAC is 19. Dual Faber 85s contain 162 CF of air at their...

    How would my air consumption change on double 50s vs 85s?

    No. I have only calculated SAC & RMV on actual dives. My average SAC is 15.7. I can tell you that my breathing is much improved from when I first started diving, if you can believe that. It is probably so high because I am overweight. I am 5' 11" 240lbs.
