    Mermet Springs 2-16-12

    Diving in Bonne Terre

    Thank you for the report. I have been curious about the experiences the mines will offer. Great write up and a very non bias view on things. It sounds like the group you are with makes a tremendous difference in the "fun" you will have, based on the being kicked and bumped.

    Why can't scuba tanks be set up like a firefighter's scba?

    Some trucks are equipped with 6000psi cascades that are regulated down to 4500psi and you connect with a whip while it's on ur back. You can also connect 2 packs together in which they would equalize the pressure between the 2. For example if you have a firefighter trapped and low on air you...

    Why can't scuba tanks be set up like a firefighter's scba?

    The pic is a newer style pack than the ones I currently wear, it has a quick fill mounted near the valve. SCROLL TO PAGE 5 I Have always been told it was the high pressure hose. Most have a 90 degree fitting an a hose up. Some have a low air bell mounted in that area. Honestly I don't know...

    Why can't scuba tanks be set up like a firefighter's scba?

    Why can't scuba tanks be set up like a firefighter's scba?

    I wasn't very clear. If you want a scuba set up the same way a scba is set up yes you would have to redesign the first stage. Can use current products yes but then you get into finding guards or cages to protect the first stage and valve hanging below the cylinder. In a scba the valve is down...

    Why can't scuba tanks be set up like a firefighter's scba?

    This has been an interesting thread to read. I have been a career firefighter for 7 years and I was a volunteer for 5 years before that. This is a question I first asked in my OW class 2 years ago. In the world of scba the valve is connected to a high pressure hose then to the first stage...

    One heck of a certification story.....

    Thank you for all the replies. We Just got back from the ENT and here is what we have found out. He wants her to visit a dentist, which it is almost time for her 6 mos anyway, to see if there is an infection in her teeth. The ENT thinks she has TMJ, and maybe just maybe something wrong with...
