An age-old question: ways to 60m.

[Blackcrusader]

there will be more if they follow the advice of those advocating it as no big deal

Well I did see a Dutch lass with only 25 dives follow her Dutch BF who just got his DM cert at one of those two week DM courses in Thailand beyond 45m in Maldives in May. Her BF was down to 80 bar after a very short dive time and had to share air to get back to a deco stop and end the dive. Both of them had no clue what their DC's were showing.

So who knows?

Okay I might throw another stone in this pond and summon next 30 pages of fighting but is not now a good time for revival something like of Draeger Dolphin which are still available as second hand and provide some sort of compromise between helium cost for OC and complexity of CCR? I approximately know what kind of portal to hell I am opening now, adding to war between air OC and CCR and Trimix OC adepts some sCCR guys (probably some of them still exist in this universe) but .....

Are people going to cancel dive vacations to places that only have 21% I doubt it.

Depending on what I’m doing I might. If I can’t get mix I’m not going to 60m. If you want to do those sort of dives managing logistics is a big piece of it.

Another option, which is perhaps outside the DIR modernist mindset, is to go semi-closed circuit rebreather (constant mass flow gas delivery to counterlung).

Someone had never heard of the fridge, rb80 and the WKPP and it shows. Because this is hilarious.

LOL right? I guess the GUE PSCR class just doesn't exist then.
