    Blue Springs Waldron Indiana Official Thread

    The deal is dead. Unfortunately it's cost William a considerable amount of money and grief. Not to mention the items stolen by everyone's good buddy rick. He even got a year of free insurance, hydro'd bank tanks and a rebuilt compressor by fraudulent means. I'm not going to reward his actions...

    Bauer Junior questions

    Biggest issue with this unit is that it will kick off if it gets too hot. I have one and that is my only issue. If you are filling and the ambient temp is above 80, it might very well trip the thermal overload on the electric motor.

    Blue Springs Waldron Indiana Official Thread

    Guys, no reason this has to get ugly. I can tell you the facts as I know them. I've been present when 2 of the parties involved (Rick and William) were talking and the whole thing was a done deal. Rick expressly said that the operation was Williams and that he could do as he pleased on the...

    Blue Springs in Waldron IN has a new owner.

    Blue Springs is now owned by a diver! Yep, that's right. I know FOR A FACT that the site will begin to improve once the weather breaks. The compressor has been removed for overhaul, cleaning and all the bank cylinders are getting hydro tested before being put back into use. The building is...

    I agree with this totally. Having spent a large part of 2 years with a buddy who relied upon me way too much was a bad approach.

    Small, silty side mount passages in many caves. Single person restrictions where it is impossible to turn around or even signal a buddy if in need. Especially no mount. Visibility diminishes to a point where a buddy would only slow the process. The buddy would be totally blind.

    I can agree to respectfully disagree. In most environments buddy diving can be safer, but there are some places where solo is a necessity.

    Hence the LOL My feeling is that a diver diving without a buddy who isn't properly trained or equipped to self rescue at the intended depth isn't diving solo. They are asking for trouble.

    Cave Fills on LP tanks

    You might want to try a few books on the subject. I like the IANTD technical diving encyclopedia. I don't buy all the karate mumbo jumbo, but the science behind the book is solid. It's the same beast, O2, just different symptoms. And there always will be....lol Back on topic!

    Cave Fills on LP tanks

    That's what I have found to work the best. I don't like using 32 at JB for big dives, Usually end up with 26 or so for a dive like this. Any longer deco and I'll go with a second deco gas. The only reason I posted was for using O2 as the only gas for a dive with this much back gas. It's the...

    Try to stay between 1- 1.2 Best trade off I have found between deco time and O2 exposure.

    Cave Fills on LP tanks

    Not really the venue. If I hit around 90% on the O2 clock, I get the chokes and my lungs burn. I guess I'm sensitive to O2. No matter what you believe in or if it differs to how you dive. It works for me. I have to be careful with my O2 consumption. Why carry gas that will cause me to be...

    Cave Fills on LP tanks

    Think of it this way, No matter how much deco I carry, I can only use about 30 cubes before I burn my O2 clock. Planning is done properly, I've done all the math, empirical testing and I can make it out in a full silt out with the loss of half my backgas. Including Deco with lost gas. I don't...

    If you follow a deco program, yes, but when you do the actual dive, you don't need much more than half the deco gas. Lost deco gas and you've got tons of back gas to compensate. I'd rather have too much BG on a scooter dive than not enough. That dive is pushing the pulmonary O2 limit so I do...
