He was a good diver and a good man. Today is a sad day. Killed by tank rather than valujet it seems an unlikely event.
 
If you watch the Cousteau episode with the red coral diver I think he was filling his 72's to whatever output his compressor would go to..I think he had a few go boom but in the end it was a jealous woman that got him with a knife not a cylinder if I remember right.
I just fill mine till the cylinder bands are tight again. :wink:

Somebody got it on video. If you look close, you can see him trying to escape in his RV, but he didn't make it.

It works best on my set of triple AAs from the 40s. 1800psi seems to be just a starting point. They are really long so I think there is room for so much more.
