    WI Divers - Please contact your legislators - details inside

    The DNR has responded a little - Saving Wisconsin Bats - How You Can Help - WDNR We need to get this amended in writing though. The DNR has not always been completely straightforward about their plans/intentions. It is definitely in the interest of the diving community to get this wording...

    Is there a current Sheck Exley?

    Kinda what I was thinking. The technical divers I dive with are extremely passionate about what we do and we work our butts off in order to participate in this kind of diving and we do it at every available opportunity. We are crazy fussy over our equipment because we worked so hard to get it...

    Oxygen Cleaning your O2 bottle?

    We have a homebuilt rack. We have a vertical tube with a lot of holes drilled in it that is built into a stand. The stand is made of pipe and we can just feed a hair dryer (set to low..... ) into it. Dries tanks nice and quick. Steel can be a PITA w/ flash rust but it works stellar for AL.

    Recurring Costs

    It is expensive, no wady around it. But at a certain point doing dives on OC is juts not practical. This summer I was doing dives at 170 for 60 minutes with 90+ minutes of deco. So easy on a rebreather but I'd hate to do that on oc. Posted from my phone.

    What is a rebreather

    Passing it through your wallet - too true. I absolutely love my rebreather, it has allowed me to do some absolutely phenomenal dives that would be impossible on open circuit. But it is definitely a financial leap.

    AHHH... VR3... piece of crap

    No issues. I love my vr3. Use it from simple ocean dives to 300'+ CCR dives. Gotten me through all sorts of dives and emergency dive plan changes. If you are having issues with it contact the company they are usually pretty responsive.

    Rebreather Question from a non-rebreather user

    Yep, you can use a rebreather at any depth. I've got a few two hour practice dives at 20 feet deep on my ccr in the logbook. Just need to be vigilant.

    Anyone ever dive Blue Spring in Missouri?

    Are you talking the spring that is now called Cannonball? It is located in what is now lake Wapapello..... it is quite deep and very big. Gorgeous cave.

    left/right valves?

    Left and right valve all the way! When I'm on vacation I just deal with having two of the same valves. It sucks a little bit but you get used to it after a day or two.

    NSS-CDS &/or NACD Memberships,.... what are the benefits?

    They are all good. I've been an NSS/CDS member for quite a few years. To be honest the only reason I signed up was to get access to Cow but I really enjoy reading the magazine too. I think they all are working towards a good thing in the long run!

    Tekna Dive Bags??

    Heh...old thread revival! :D I put that post up about 6 years ago :) The Tekna is loong gone. On the other hand I can highly recommend the Akona boat duffel. Very durable...only problem is capacity. I use it mainly on warm vacations now and use Rubbermaid totes for just about anything else.
