Awesome thank you so much. Now I will write a progam and see how it tests out.

I will be there as well, sounds like a good meeting place..... I am curious to put some faces to some screen names. The question is how will we know who's who? BTW, does anyone konw of a good cheap hotel around there. I know I procrastinated but I still need to find a room, or I sleep...

Does anyone actually know the formula with the Z-factor included. I know the formula is a PITA but I am writing my own blending program so I want it for that. I have the TDI advanced gas blending and service manual but it only uses the ideal gas law. I should know this from my physical...

Is it really necessary to analyze the He in a mix. I mean if you did your calculations right and your O2 comes out fine, is there a need to analyze He. The reason I ask is because purchasing a He analyzer is very expensive. I am thinking about making one, but the output from the sensor is not...

Dmdalton said that you can use a volt/ohm meter and a sensor with some math to find the O2 percent. Is it a simple ratio formula or a big math problem? could someone tell me the formula if it is? I am in the process right now of building, but the volt meter will work for now. Thanks ADAM

Besides the whole underwear pricing, Has anyone had any problems with the suit itself? I am thinking mostly about the hyper stretch. ADAM

Okay I know this has been done before, but there was not enough info for me. I am looking to buy a drysuit in a couple of weeks (when the $$ gets there). I can get the DC at cost or maybe get the DUI at the preferred rate. I am soon to be an assistant instructor in a couple of weeks. I...

What is wrong with the analog guages. All the gas I have blended has been on an analog guage, and I am usually no more than a percent off. I have not had the luxury or the money to purchase a digital guage, so I use an incremented analog guage that ranges from 0-4000 PSI. I will admit the...

Where do I get palm VPM? I currently have d-plan and j-plan that I like alot. I just like running different profiles to see the difference. Thanks ADAM

I go to school in Charleston, SC but I am from Fort Mill, SC (about 10 minutes south of Charlotte, NC). I dive wherever there is water. I am on a college budgett, so if you see some great diving deals, PM me. ADAM

I am looking to buy a brand new drysuit. I think I want to buy the DUI TLS350. The problem is that I am 6'2" at 230#. I have a 46-48 chest and a 36 inch waist. If you look on the sizing chart I am a XX by my heaight and chest, but a L by my waist an hips. Would you reccomend me getting...

I am thinking about purchasing a Whites Dry Suit. I am getting a really great deal and I want to know what I am getting into. It is the Whites trilam drysuit with their version of the rock boots and 2 sets of bellow pockets. I was going to go with the DUI tls 350, but this is too good of an...

WW + O-ring, I do plan dives the lazy way, I figured since we were on a discussion, I would use the correct numbers. Usually i jsut use deco planner, for my gas, find my rock bottom, and plan from there. I do not go through this every dive. ADAM

O-ring, do you know the correct sac rate to plan for rock bottom? Thanks ADAM

My numbers: I calculated the same dive the old fashon way.... pen and paper. Here are my numbers and tell me if i am too far off. Rock Bottom Calulations: 1 minute for emergency 1 min for each 30 FSW... (4.33 min or 4 mn 20 sex) 1 Cuft per min sac rate. This is for 2 divers. I cannot...

Okay guys, I will admit I am new to deco diving. I have taken the TDI Adv Nitrox + Deco Class and the DIRF class and know what rock bottom is. You guys really confuesed me. So what you are saying that O-ring should do is, if he starts with the working pressure of 2700 on double 108's, he...

Whatever back plate you go with will be okay. They are pretty much indestructable and will last forever. I own 2 Fred T plates (the heavy SST and the Al) and I am more than happy. It is an excellent plate design. I have also use my freind's diverite and another's halcyon, both also worked...

I have a pair of converse all stars (the old basketball shoe) that I got for $15. I have them sized for just warm water. They work better than the dive boots in my opinion. I have never tried them with my drysuit. Since it is only another $15, I think i can risk going and getting another...

I am currently using D-plan and I love it. The only problem with it is, that It does not calculate CNS%. Has someone written a program for the palm that will calculate the CNS% and nothing else? I do not want to buy another dive program. I know calculating CNS is easy, but I would love...

I have a SAC Rate of .72 and that is non stop moving with doubles and a stage. I usually plan my dives for this b/c if there comes a need for heavy work, I will have enough gas. My normal SAC rate for moderate activity is about .58 on a single 80 and .61 with doubles and a stage.
