AI transmitter damage when directly connected to 1st stage

Agreed - I believe in personal responsibility. If you can take action personally to avoid an issue, then you should and not push the responsibilities onto others.

I reckon the most you might get on a UK boat would be a shout "Everyone's gear secure? Right we're off".

In the US a licensed captain is ultimately responsible for the safety of the passengers and crew of his or her vessel. That's not to say divers shouldn't take responsibility for their own gear. It's just that if there is an injury or worse, the buck stops with the captain.

Ocean Frontiers is the best land-based operator I've used.

Agreed - great dive OP. Great staff and the 3 new 46’ Newton’s are awesome too!

I have never let anyone else setup my regs. The 2 or 3 times I have left my BP/W with an operator to rinse and store for me, they always set it up on a tank for me and every single time I've had to re-do it. You'd think it was too easy to mess up, but noooo....

I had my shearwater transmitter hand-tight until one day when i was on the boat. I had all my gear on and realized that i didn't turn my tank on. So i sat down, reached back and felt for the knob, and turned it on - no gas - and realized it was the transmitter i turned lol.

I guess I will leave my Shearwater transmitters on my primary first stage and my pony first stage.
