    Timex Ironman Question

    My 100m Ironman had about 75 dives on it when the battery died. Timex is just trying to cover themselves, it should be fine. And as do it easy said, if it fails end your dive and go buy another one.

    Minimum Nitrox age

    HE should be responsible for HIS diving and HIS exposure. Not trying to start a fight, and I agree with your other points. As for the age limit, they had to pick some number and they probally chose 15 to follow along the Junior OW lines. In reality, they are probally 12 year olds that are...

    Oxygen and narcosis
