Yes...many WILL read it. I had a 5 year old thread revived once and it was on Free Diving long before there was a sub forum for it...I personally have not been on here for quite a while but nice to some things never change :) Ron

I see a miriad of potential problems....let alone a Distinctive Speciality/Specialty course in the works :)

Have you checked any local industrial supply houses? Lots of them fill SCBA's and air is tested. You may have to supply an adaptor as you mifght have to at the paintball place. Praxair also does high pressure breathing air. Ron
