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...
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...
Advise, stay away from saturation diving if you value your health. Get into ROV diving. I know several US navy divers that were involved in extreme saturation diving that are no longer alive. E Bay has a very interesting book called, Blind mans bluff. Read it you can get it for a couple $ on E...
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.
Lots of good suggestions see a ENT doc that is a diver. Also here is a something I use after having many external ear infections. Been using it for 50 years over 10,000 dives. Good luck,,
When I hit 40 I would get ear infections every time I spent more than a couple hours a day in the water...
No thanks, not much to say it just shouldn't have happened for a simple device that dug and buried telephone cables 385 Ft Deep. Funny thing with communication in 1967. There were 3 first class MM1 DV on the skylark. Initial newspaper article was 2 MM1 Divers were killed Miller and Sprinkle were...
Here's my class photo Many famous Divers, many are gone. That's ensign Link with myself next to him on the top. He thanked me many times for dragging his ass through the pool in scuba. I didn't know who he was in Dive school. Just thought he was a young kid Ensign.
Miller Sprinkle was USS Skylark 1967 I got bent treating the Corpsman that got bent treating Miller and Sprinkle. The Sea Link was USS Tringa in Key west I was there also. Clayton Link Jr. was killed along with Al Stover. Clayton Link Jr. Was my swim partner during scuba class in Dive school...
Small world class 16-66 how about you Akimbo? Done soo much after school some cant talk about. Panama City 67 69. Skylark in 67, I was on gas rack for Miller Sprinkle accident off of Argencia.
Great choice Conshelfs they either work, creep or free flow. I have been using and rebuilding them for over 47 years one 1st stage body for that long. Parts are readily available. 2 to 3 years between overhauls If kept out of the bad weather. Like taken inside after a day of diving. I guess it...
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...
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...
