    Anybody making a multistage electric O2 Booster or compressor?

    Just curious, what are you using 6000 psi oxygen for? I would be scared to death to pump O2 that high without special and very expensive equipment. Just get a couple more 200 or 300 O2 bottles. I was cascading O2 into a 1200 PSI partial fill when I opened the o2 tank valve fast instead of...

    Can I become a female saturation diver?

    It's the long term effects that effect the helium diver. Yes from the very few non saturation heo2 dives I have made. I have arthrites in most of my joints. And no I cannot say something else helped cause it. Ask a long time Sat diver about health. There is a reason Sat divers make so much...

E Bay has a very interesting book called, Blind mans bluff. Read it you can get it for a couple $ on E...

    Hawaii now without any recompression chamber

    If the Navy is closing chambers why not have the Hawaii politicians try to get one of them I doubt the Navy would want to transfer one of the large double chambers. All the rescue and salvage ships have a chamber on them.

    Aqualung Legend LX First Stage Failure at depth

    Sounds like to me they had a foolproof regulator design like the Conshelf's that didn't need servicing until it had a minor creep or free flow that needed overhauling every three or four years. Now they are able to freeze up and kill someone so you have to overhaul them yearly...

    Powderheads/Bangsticks

    A 223 does less damage than a 38 357 or 45. Why, Because of the hole size more damage is caused By a large shock wave instead of a 223 size hole. I have made and tried them all. The best I have used was a 45 magnum. I use the standard 45 Auto built to military specs. As for the noise there isn't...
