Trip Report Cozumel Blue Angel - October 2024

[1fish]

My observation is that most did not measure their tanks or label them as theirs as it seemed like I was the only one asking for an analyzer. It didn’t to me seem like a hassle but more of “oh….. ok let me get it”…. As if diver checking was exception more than the customary.

I agree. I always had to ask for them to make sure the tester was brought down to the boat before we left and the staff would test and mark the tanks while I watched. It was defiantly like they would prefer not to do it but always would do it with a smile...
Our tanks were usually close to .32 but a few were almost .34 or .31
Not a problem for the diving we were doing but I did adjust my computer to match.

I sometimes dive Cozumel with nitrox, and like most other divers I see doing the same, I don't worry about the exact %O2. I dive nitrox as if I were diving on air, and I don't dive deep enough anymore that O2 toxicity would be a problem, so the extra O2 and less N2 is just a side benefit. My N2 loading readout on my computer is a little pessimistic, that's all. What's wrong with that?
