NetDoc, For caps there a quite a few ways to engineer the caps. Take a look at the openRov project, create a mold and use smooth-on plastic or ask... There a several dive light builders on Scubaboard and candlepowerforums.com with the tools to assist. Personally I use delrin rod and cut...

asking $275 per set shipped within the USA 150 dives on each and serviced annually. Just had the annual servicing done on both so they are ready to go.

Only reason for mentioning it is that 32% is banked where I live and 28% is a "custom" blend. Custom blending "suggests to me" over thinking things a bit and perhaps per dive stress. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the mix itself.

A lot of good comments so far. cold, dark and a bit of buddy separation perhaps? ( you went to 120, did your buddy as well? ) I'm not claustrophobic, but can get that feeling when narced. Slow, deep breaths and constant accent rate normally clear it for me. I'd have used 32% for those depths...

Contact 350xfire at tlslights.com. He's had a similar canister fabled.

Just take it back to the vendor, explain the issue and tell him if it's costs are not covered under warranty you need to be notified prior to authorizing repairs.

Sarcasm is strong with that one

Djtimmy, Thanks, but I'm looking for local supplies to avoid the extra weight during transit. Getting 40% blends is usally the more difficult task.

Any shops in the area deal with rebreathers consumables? Still debating shipping mine UPS prior to a November trip.

I've got two in for annual service so parts aren't an issue.

Agree with DanV! A few things to stress for all new divers. 1. Air is your responsibility and yours alone. 2. You are your buddies redundancy, low air situations put the TEAM at risk. 3. A thumb is not a question, and it is not to be debated or ignored. It means the dive is OVER up...

What a crock of sheet. Each and every diver is responsible for monitoring his or her air supply. While there are places that will check they are exceptions not the rule!Dang next people will expect the DM to pee for them as well.

If he'd been teamed with them... he'd have every right to "complain loudly" Those tanks they sucked dry were HIS redundant supply and not theirs to use! I stopped relying on pickup buddies long ago, just configure for solo. It takes a long time to be a good team.

It is what it is. There are lots of ways to instruct without getting preachy. That you got to know these divers experience level and backgrounds is a good indicator your well on your way to helping. Rather than making them practice dumping weights, next time just ask them about their...

I'm not sure how to respond to the post and make it constructive, but I'm going to try. You didn't provide the details that created the OOA situation, making impossible for anyone to learn from others diving mistakes. As you say that wasn't the reason you posted. But there are things you...

I'm a bit confused here... Were you the DM for the group or jet a random add? Glad to hear they survived

You stuck to your Nitrox training and refused to dive an unknown gas, good for you. As for thumbing the dive.... There is no debate, no discussion, no explanation required until you are on the way up. Buddies who question a thumb aren't people you need to dive with. Hopefully you've learned...

Yeah me thinks they are over stating the Lumens

To avoid panic in these situations just think it through. First dive was per computer, you did a safety interval and started your second dive without your computer complaining. If you made a direct ascent upon computer failure you should be fine, safety stop or not, otherwise your computer...

Don, I don't see anywhere in this thread he got beat up. He asked for feedback, poorly described the situation and misused common diving terms. If anything, the replies are gentle for SB. If anyone truly believed he was in deco he would have been blistered, same if he'd actually had an...
