Thanks *takes a bow*, I'm Canadian - which means I supposedly know how to do everything politely!
Apprently the little battery-op guys will misread on a low battery or if a previous diver got them wet (accidental dunkings in the camera bucket are known to happen).
True, we do have pretty good regulations in place up here - my LDS does fills for all the surrounding counties fire departments, so they have to be good. I don't do a whole lot of diving up here anymore though, mostly caribean/florida/etc. for me (I like little colored fishies too much!).

Nice, polite hijack there. How did you get a mistaken reading?
On my last trip, I saw two divers go deep by mistake on the 36% Nx tanks they had scheduled for the second, shallower dive. I guess it'd be wise to test every tank for O2 and CO both, and I have the Analox analyzers.
You have stricter CO regs up there I think, but caca happens! You don't know what's in your tank unless you check it...
