Question Should I have tools to adjust IP in save a dive kit?

[The Chairman]

I always carry an IP gauge and the tools to adjust my IP as well as second-stage cracking. I frequently check my regs so I can catch a problem before it catches me. Moreover, if I find an issue in the field, I can determine if it's critical or just a simple adjustment.

why are you wanting to check other divers IP?

One never knows. I swam up to this guy in Bonaire and checked his IP at 100 feet just to make sure his regulator was functioning properly.

Good idea...but it would be tough with my digital IP gauge I built for about $15.

Only when they tell me they haven't serviced their regulators for a while. Safety precaution. I would then refuse to dive with them until the problem is rectified.

That is downright hysterical! What if their reg tested ok but hadn't been serviced in a while?

#2) rule... dont touch my ******* ****!

You know how weird it would be to have an instabuddy request to check my ip?

He get a pass for the first one.

I dive often with this dude and he's a nuisance above and below the waterline.

You dive often with a guy that shows up with regulators that need to have there ip tested? Why? That doesn't make sense on a lot of levels.

And I'm not trying to be an ass..

 

[Alaskan Scuba Dude]

Only checked it once. I haven't dived with him in along while. He is a very poor diver (financially(scrooge) and physically) so I need to assume some responsibility since he won't.

I schlep my primary AA ST1 and a backup B2. And if both of them crap on me, I can ditch the pony and cannibalize the H50-D/XL4 off it and worry about fixing stuff when I get home.

Redundancy has a charm all its own. Don't fly single-engine night IFR if you can avoid it.

Many regulator problems occur on recently serviced regs. Put a couple of hours on your regs before you travel thousands of miles and need to rely on them.
