Okay, I've been a bit absent from here since December, but glad to be back
Anyway, onto my question:
I've just started my Naui Nitrox course and I have a few questions about my gear.
first of all, I'm using a Genesis GS-2000. In the manual, it says not to use it with any mix with more than 21% oxygen. I'm assuming this is because it isn't ready and the seals/lubricants aren't oxygen compatible. So is all I need to do for my regulator is take it to my dive shop and ask them to order and install the proper parts to make it Nitrox safe? Is there such a kit available for this regulator?
Secondly is my BC. In the Naui Nitrox manual, it says BC's don't need to be worried about and says they should be fine. However, in the manual for my Cressi Aquapro 5, it gives a few problems that could arise from using it with nitrox, but doesn't actually say not to use it with nitrox - will there be any issues with the BC? If so, are there kits for BCs as well to make them Nitrox safe?
thanks for all your help
