Nitrox and a 7' hose.

[mwhities]

Tonight I finished up my Nitrox course and I'm officially (minus the card) Nitrox certified. As an added bonus, my 7' hose came in too. I asked my LDS to add my 7' hose to my first stage and second stage as he is servicing my rig.

So now, in order to actually utilize nitrox, I need to get my SAC rate down.

You did get a Nitrox 7 ft hose right? ...

Make sure you O2 clean your mask also...

More importantly, did the shop teach you the correct hand signal for "Out of Nitrox"?

Remember, don't share air with anyone who isn't EANx certified!

I forgot do you flash your card first then signal your mix? or is it the other way around? Mark the % on your reg right?

I bet some cowboy diveshop somewhere would charge extra for servicing a "nitrox clean" long hose.

Ive put my 7ft hose in the cupboard and gone to a 5ft for open water diving. Just cant stop it forming a small loop behind me as it wont feed down parallel to the tank and wing.

I found that the 5 ft was more unruly than the 7... seemed to keep popping out of my waist band when ever I would move my head too much... The 7 stays tucked in nicely with or without my can light

Most definitely, it was 20 dollars more for the nitrox hose!

Would O2 cleaning my mask require that I seal it permanently to my face? I'd have no problem with that, minus the itch I might get.

Nope, I most have missed that, can you tell me?

What is he signals that his n-card is in the car?

Wanna send your 7' hose to me?

I'll try it out next weekend. He said he should have my regs serviced by the first of next week.
