T2T forum entrance requirements change

[Rhone Man]

Who do you want to discuss oxtox symptoms with, someone who's seen it first hand, or someone who read about it in a book once?

Has anyone in this forum seen oxtox symptoms firsthand? I remember diving with a very experienced diver once who explained to me that he always planned his ppO2 (open circuit) for 1.6 at the bottom. His theory was that he had seen a lot of people bent, but he had never seen someone tox, and he had never known someone who had seen sometime tox.

I haven't either, and from his comment I assumed it must probably be a very, very rare event?

lol
I've never seen anyone drown so I think I'll try my next dive without any regulators

What's a regulator?

I figure its not going to happen twice in my diving career!

What's the difference in deco between using 1.4 and 1.6 on the bottom? Not much.

Aside from the overdramatic bull****, thats kinda what I thought the T2T was supposed to be - albeit not just for cave divers... Not Tec Diver Forum 2, the other place where you find the same posts, from the same people.

I can honestly see a place for a special exploration forum for people who want to discuss sites that are not generally known and should not be generally known.

Can you suggest another topic that should be hidden from others, one that relates to the general tech community and not just to small subset of cave divers?

Toxing? I think someone died at Ginnie a few years back from toxing on what should have been a safe enough mix. There was a girl who died after toxing on a mix that was 1.4ppo2 or less while ascending from a 150' depth cave in north florida a few years previous to that.


I think its pretty safe to say that people tox, they just don't post about it much afterwards....

For S&G, and I know you'll love it because its basically the exact same scenario on a tangent, but I'm sure there are wreck explorers looking at new wrecks that don't want the world to know about it either.

FWIW, it doesn't need to be up to me to point out all the appropriate content on this forum. I still have every right to bitch about the direction this little subforum chose to go.



You're basically missing every bit of my point anyway. I'd like to see advanced discussion, not the same old junk on the rest of the tech forums. Its not happening.

 

[Tortuga68]

Was it happening before the forum entrance requirements changed?

 

[SuPrBuGmAn]

Whether it was or not, does it make sense to break up the same level of content up in two forums?


It atleast had potential before, IMO.

So here is a typical question one might pose after having just gone through AN/Deco and bought a new predator which of course I could not use during class for establishing my deco obligations but instead ran our profile on various computer models, then wrote them on wetnotes which were put in my drysuit pocket. I have been diving a DR Duo affixed to my wrist slate and I quite enjoyed the comfort and convenience of having my computer and slate on my left wrist.
Now I have the problem that I cannot mount the predator on a wrist slate because of it's size and I cannot wear both the slate with the Duo attached and the predator on one arm because they will not fit. I don't have enough room from the elbow down. Believe me I tried. I wear my light on my right hand (horror I know for some) but I love it this way. It is butt mounted to a sidemount rig, btw. So, I want my slate and my computer on my left arm where they have been being. I can use the wetnotes in my pocket for backup, alternate profiles. I would like my primary profile on my arm along with my computer for comparisons. Perhaps I am just too attached to that profile right now and after getting some experience would just be able to occasionally retrieve wetnotes from my pocket. Also bear in mind that during class we were doing a lot of multi tasking during our ascent while referring to the notes we were also doing OOA, single file restriction, touch contact, etc.

So how do seasoned deco divers carry their notes and their primary and back up computer(with one of these in gauge mode)
Ok now that is the kind of question that is irritating me right now. Speak your mind everyone. You have already been doing it.
Is that the kind of question that needs to be in here or on TDS?

The Predator display doesn't need a light to be viewed. Placing it on your right arm shouldn't be an issue. If you insist on trying to make it work on your left arm, you can always try one of these:

You'll have plenty of room for all your computers and gauges!
