LMAO. The convolutions people will go into trying to fix problems generated by the solution to the first problem.



Oh, your charters let you dive 120cf tanks? And use them, that is.

I know a LOT of AL 80 customers that would be a bit irate waiting for you to hit NDL. Heck, on my charters this weekend there were a lot of irate customers because my buddy and I have a decent SAC rate.

Jim,

We were diving with Olympus Dive Center out of Morehead City, NC. If the weather is good and the boat can get out, the typical dives are 100 to 130 fsw. The vast majority of divers were using Nitrox for more bottom time. The smallest tanks I saw were 100 cf.. There were quite a few doubles and even an Inspiration re-breather in use. The only boat imposed time requirements were no decompression and one-hour maximum in the water.
