what is your longest dive?

[gerardnealon]

Forgive me if this question has been asked, i did a search and did not see anything.

What was your longest dive, time wise. What was your depth and tank configuration? If you care to expand, what gases were you using?

wow, that warmwater dive is funny. I might have hit 2 hours at the bottom of a pool, but there isnt much to see down there ;-) You have very good gas consumption.

The three hour dive was on a reef out in front of the condo at Kihei Maui. Plenty to see.

yea i bet. I am trying to find a nice place where i can dive outside a hotel like that where i can do unlimited shore dives. I am trying to plan a honeymoon. My fiance is a diver also

3 hours 15 minutes on air, surface supply in 30-40 ft under the ice. I was working for a commercial diving company building a bridge. We didn't have any dry gloves so we would come up to the barge so they could put some hot water in our gloves, this would only work for about 5 minutes then your fingers would get cold again. Lots of fun.

Single rig AL80, 115mins, we only came up as one of the group was at 200psi, i still had 500psi, and the girls with us still had 1200psi (kills me), max 20ft, ave 12ft shore diving Ft Lauderdale

Doubles rig HP-120's - i havent drained them yet, but got bored training after 2 hours at 30-35ft ave and used about 2/3's of them - first time in doubles, normally i get 1-1.5 hours for a dive in the 60-70ft range in the caves on 1/6ths rule (1/6th in, same out).

These are some impressive posts. My longest was an hour and a half in Costa Rica diving a single AL80 with air at about 45'.

Wow...I'm unworthy.
Here's my last one on my new drysuit.
58 minutes
average depth 45'
water temp 56
LP 95 filled to 2800
came back with 900lbs
I'm thinking some cardio work and some more dry dives will help.
