Fatty tanks of Nitrox!

[KenGordon]

You want me to read a 49 page report? Yeah, I'll get on that.

Hits do happen, and causes are debatable, but fortunately they are very rare. We have a Deco forum where they discuss theory.

And you want me to browse youtube. Does he know more than DAN? Yeah, I'll get on that.
.

Aren't you the guy that starts most of the incident threads with posts from media reports? Here are a couple of hundred incidents all written down in one place. Reading it and the previous 40 years of similar reports might be quite informative. What is the use of theory if you are not prepared to look at the outcomes?

What does very rare mean? Here are 70. It is hard to say how many divers dived to get those 70 so it might be 1 in 10k or one in 500 got a bend. DCI happens despite training, computers and so forth. How it come so to happen ought to be of interest to anyone trying to avoid it. Unlike many accidents which have clearly started before the diver got into the water a significant proportion of the DCI incidents happen within limits.

Meridiano 87 has an online price list for Nitrox in 80s or 100s, and 120s at 3,500 psi - rental tanks or private (particular) - at 3,000 or 3,500 psi. I do not know if this list is current or accurate, or how well they meed demand - just showing what they publish at Precios - Meridiano 87

Prices were correct as of yesterday. Not many rental al100's around but I got a pair @3300 psi cold (a relative word from where I come from)

Rental tanks? Well, I guess so - and since they don't offer high pressure rentals, I guess you paid for 3,000 and got 3,300, so great.

Great! And if you get them at 3300 in Coz they don't drop a bunch when they hit the water.

For Coz diving tho, there is not much need for Nitrox. .

I seem to remember a guy that looked like you taking an EXCESSIVELY long safety stop to get in the green before surfacing?

I was under the impression that Meridiano has offered Nitrox 100's for some time now. .

Why the heck didn't you tell me sooner? I just found out!!

So? I see some interesting surprises on safety stops - no extra charge. It's be different if I didn't have a computr, but I carry two.

So?.

So you had some nitrogen loading. Maybe I'll set my second computer for air and see how bad my profile looks. It's a scuba pro. Where do they fall on the liberal vs conservative? *snicker*

Always. Only one on the boat who doesn't is the captain.

Yes sir

Yes Sir!
