    Ginnie Spring CCR

    We call this the normalization of deviance in accident analysis. I've been on the ballroom side twice, but never in a CCR. Knowing what an intimidating overhead enviroment that it could become, I'd rather stay in the Devil's system where I feel safe. :(

    Ginnie Spring CCR

    I can' believe your not worried someone might silt out the basin, get a student turned around, and they head into the cave to die. Sounds like the makings of a 40 page A&I thread.

    Ginnie Spring CCR

    Point taken, I wonder if there are no rules at the ballroom, if you can scooter with your RB up the run and river to the ear and start your dive? Preferably without a reel.

    Did you pay extra for a Cave CCR card?

    Does anyone know if the new rules at Ginnie Spring restrict OW CCR divers from diving the ballroom section of cave?

    Chicago dive center recs?

    DRIS has three boats with one of them @ North Point Marina that goes out to The Northern wrecks sites like the Wisconsin.

    Chicago dive center recs?

    Outside of setting up a fill station, Dive Right In Scuba is going to be your best choice. Many people from the Northern burbs go out of their way because of the excellent service and product knowledge. They also have a charter boat that is docked in North Point Marina, about a 20 min. drive...

    Analox O2 EII - weird behavior

    Exactly, the day your current limited cell reads 32% will be the day someone (or yourself) filled the tank with o2. Happy diving, Cheers.

    Analox O2 EII - weird behavior

    I'm sure Carlos Fonseca would agree with you, maybe you could ask him when you see him.

    Hollis H-160 DPV Upgrade

    Don't pay any attention to the H160 haters. I had two of them and they're more than capable of towing a fully kitted tech diver around. It does have two major drawbacks (maybe 2.5). The out of the box trim is horrendous and you've mostly solved this issue. The other was battery life was a little...

    Analox O2 EII - weird behavior

    The sensor works by oxidation of the element. If put in a sealed environment the oxidation is slowed. To jump start it again it is recommended to flush with o2.

    Analox O2 EII - weird behavior

    I'm pretty sure the instructions say to "wake up" the cell with o2 when new or sitting in an airtight environment. I would do a three point calibration to verify the sensor is good. Calibrate to air, then measure know nitrox, then 100% o2.

    Was his name Yosef by chance?

    Maintaining depth without visual reference?

    I would never willing let an SMB treat me like a rag doll in chop. It would throw your buoyancy off and send you right to the surface.

    New access rules to Eagles Nest and Burford.

    Closer and closer, the nanny state :(

    Maintaining depth without visual reference?

    Exactly, barotrama is always the go to solution for this particular skills issue (wtf?).

    WHY Oh WHY????

    Can't believe the obvious "Rule 6" violation hasn't been mentioned!
