HDrider,
The LDS around here will not fill more than 40%max, regarless of cert. level.
I really feel that rec divers that are doing non-deco diving in cold water could benefit from breathing 50-100%O2 at saftey stops. I know most board members disagree.
Maybe at my current cert level I'm just not aware of the risks of using 100% O2 (campared with 40%) and I need lots more training before even thinking about not using it, but, my understanding with 100% O2 is:
Use only O2 cleaned/safe tanks/gear
Don't breath it deeper than 10' (label the bottle clearly, use common sense and proper config to prevent from breathing at depth - this is actually properly easier for rec guys with only 1 primary reg and a backup than for tech guys dealing with multiple stage regs).
Am I missing something? I have been told that at my current level, 100% O2 is "none of my business", but, I think it would my diving alot safer.
