I did not have a great diving day the day before and wanted to try again. It was drizzly and dark but damm it I'm going in!
1st problem. Computer kaput. Battery icon showing and won't change screens. The day before I got a 1% CNS warning, but it was weird as I wasn't working hard, just fining about. It cleared after a few seconds, I didn't change what I was doing. Ok fine, I'm gonna rent a reg.
2nd problem. I obviously didn't remember the specifics about my BCD with air 2. You can't just put any reg on. I just figured I would have 3 air sources my primary, the octo and air2. Got hooked up, the low pressure hose barely went on, I figured it was just different. SPG good. Primary good. Hmmm Air2 won't breathe. Shoot, power inflator won't work. Oh yeah, now I remember. Back to trailer, explain and get new reg that is set up like mine. Almost.
3rd problem I cannot even get close to connection the lp hose. I'm figuring its a snorkel day. We take our weights and tanks back as they don't have that type of connector. In steps Mark, my knight in shining armour. Well ok, he's in shorts, tee and cap. Asks to see my reg, which now is reading altitude ...super weird, something needs service ASAP!! I am not diving with that, and I'm not sharing my buddys computer. Mark simply removes my hp and console, attaches his and voila! I'm good to go. That's service for you. CATALINA DIVERS SUPPLY ROCKS!!! The sun came out and in I went
pardon my excess use of smilies.
