just a dumb question for you.
Have you dove the dolphin much?
the reason i ask is i dont understand you answer?
below is a program i use.
you can also do the math and figure the same deal out
my metabolic rate is .7 so i plan my dive on .8 in this paticular case 26 percent would be my bag gas.like i posted no you dont get the benifits of the ccr with this unit but i have dove at 150 feet for 60 mins and used 900 pds of gas out of a 65 steal tank.
now do the same dive with doubles on your back and figure out how much gas you would have used and how much extra weight you have carried.
yes my deco time was a little longer then if i was using the optimum mix but the water temp on the hang was close to 70 degrees so it was fine by me.(i would rather be under water then ontop anyday even if it is hanging) exception to that rule is if the hang water temp is below 50 degrees!
anyway the point of all this jibber jabber is the dreager can be used beyond the recreational limit.the only mods. that was done is i use a 65 steal tank with a h valve for redundant air supply and i also have a 13 mounted on the side for suit air and alternative air source.
once again would like to hear all opinions on this
thanks
