Hello:

I need to find three oxygen sensors, and am trying everything I can think of. If anyone knows anyone who might have three Teledyne R-10DS or R-10DN oxygen sensors that they would be willing to sell, well, I sure would be most grateful. Oxycheq and, apparently, Teledyne currently have no stock, and my training starts a week from today ;-0 . I know the odds are long, but just thought that I would try...

Thanks in advance.

Todd.
 
I ordered a set about a month ago. I'll call and see if mine are any closer than a fresh order would be. If they are you can take over my order and I'll order 3 more.

Good morning Saturated:

If your order is also with Patrick, though, then I doubt that your kind offer would offer any hope :( . I placed my order the Monday after DEMA and he has had no luck, in spite of his best efforts, in this pursuit. If, however, your order is elsewhere, well, then any effort on my behalf would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks much.

Todd.
 
The SMS202 has an 18-22mV output range and will work in the CCR1000/Mk15/Mk15.5 sets.
You'd have to attach Winchester connectors but the sensors are in stock and we could supply them with molex fittings if that would help you.

Your taking training with Jeff on Monday?

Hi Saturated and Shas:

Thank you both for the information. The folks at Analytical Industries are amazingly nice. A couple of hours ago, I was, however, able to obtain three of the Teledyne R-10DS sensors for my class.

I am finally in good shape, as the sensors, the absorbant pads, the batteries, and the Mk-15 should be in Los Angeles on Friday. And I start training with Jeff on Monday.

Now, I am starting to get excited :) .

Any advice on the training process?

Thanks again.

Todd.

Todd,

You will be getting outstanding training from Jeff! Just train yourself into the mindset of ALWAYS, ALWAYS doing your pre-flight
checks. ALWAYS, ALWAYS check your gauges, (PPO2 foremost), during flight (the dive) and ALWAYS, ALWAYS do your post-flight checks. Once you make this behavior second-nature, you'll find that CCR diving is a piece of cake!

Have a great time!:D :D
 
Do everything the same way everytime. Dont hesitate to ask the "what if questions" ask as many as you can possibly think of. After class, hang in the shallows for a good # of dives. Continue to practice drills for the rest of yor days. Always know your ppo2.
Alway carry enough open circuit gas to bring you home.
Always prebreathe your unit for a good deal of time before diving.

Your going to have a blast! Better find some ccr friends so the bubblers dont ruin all your photo ops!

Good luck with your training....let us know how it goes!

Hi Todd,
I was wondering how things are going. Did you finish the training with Jeff?
How is the rig holding up? Had a good time in SoCal?
Hope all's well
Stefan
