    Dual Steel LP 108's & al 40

    I live in Chicago and will not deliver (preferably local sell). The dual cylinders are banded together w/ 300 bar DIN manifold and are steel lp 108's XS Scuba (worthington), and in good condition. They do need a new hydro (first hydro was '07). I'm thinking $400 for that. I also have an AL...

    CNS toxicity symptom occurrence...or not

    This may be an incredibly unhelpful post but several years ago (i do not recall the dive profile or back & deco gas composition except that the max depth was 175') but I know I started 100% at 20ft and after about 2 min, began feeling extremely nauseous, not thinking clearly, and my vision began...

    Biochemical Decompression

    Anyone know the % of 02 and % of Hydrogen required to produce an explosion? Its clear that the applications are for extremely deep diving where the PP02 is sufficient to sustain life but %02 is low enough to avoid explosion. That said, how does moisture factor in (e.g. residual 02 from...

    Nitrogen Narcosis help

    Have fun and happy anniversary! I thought more about this last night and while I understand that you nor your wife are terribly 'scared' of narcosis, the perception of danger and its contribution to stress/response are what is really at issue. It is good to hear that both of you are taking...

    Nitrogen Narcosis help

    Narcosis is an interesting phenomenon and probably more ubiquitous than people think. Theoretically, it is possible to be 'narced' while diving below 60fsw though symptoms seldom manifest (probability is extremely remote) or become noticeable until proceeding to deeper depths. Instead of being...

    20 months ago I couldn't spell pneumothorax, now I have had one

    Wow. I will be succinct... <begin angry rant> 1. Yes, diving requires more (different) skill than operating a motor vehicle: a. Dive planning b. Gear setup c. Gear check (its BWRAF not BWAF. Instead of "British Women Are Fun" think "British Women Are Really Fun" or, even better, "Being Wary...

    Overhead environments and open water scuba divers

    I think two criteria to add (apologies if this was posted elsewhere) are: 1. If the overhead was not apart of your dive plan, don't do it. 2. If the dive-op or buddy says 'trust me' and jumps into the water before you can ask any questions, don't do it.

    Good bc for newbie

    +1 on the BP/W. Though it may seem slightly foreign if it wasn't introduced in your OW class, it is simple, configurable, flexible, adaptable, and helps promote good trim. I'd do a standard wing, bp, and harness to get started. My advice, keep it simple and don't be tempted by all of the bells...
