I am most interested in why 50%?
What’s the problem with 40%?
Why not mooch over to 60%?

My experience with "new agencies" is they do some silly stuff just to be different. Whether it makes sense or not. Cue the UTD sidemount manifold nonsense. The choice of 50% is probably along those lines of "different for different's sake"

Also marketing "can get richer nitrox with our card!"

40% is normally the rec cert limit for EAN. Higher is for deco in most cases. And 50% is all they're doing so it's a light deco cert. They not doing 60%.

Ah, the keyboard dive experts of SCUBA Boards.... The DTGO CCR Instructors for DTA include Doug Ebersole and the creator of KISS Rebreathers and the DTGO, Mike Young. But I am sure you experts already knew that and are much better divers and Instructors than either of them.

Once again, Mike Young is not the creator of KISS rebreathers. Gordon Smith was.

Kewl! 50%! AND they can do analysis remotely online!

Do I just hold my phone or pad up near to the tank and crack the valve to do the analysis? Will it work on the older 4G phones?

Interested in this new technology. TSA hand searched my carry on yesterday because of my nuvair.

Apparently reg, dc didn’t make agent blink but didn’t recognize analyzer

O₂ cleaned cheese cloth.

On a serious note, dose cheese cloth require O2 cleaning every 15 months?

Flushing it with pure helium is all you need.
