    Long term stored oxygen in Ali80 still safe to use?

    If my highschool chem still holds up, you'd also get a decrease in O2 percentage when testing due to it reacting with the AL to make the Aluminum Oxide.

    Decompression - CCR vs OC

    It may be reinhaled, but due to the differential of partial pressure on ascent, the N2 is not reabsorbed like on OC when using not 100% O2. As the others have said, as off gassed N2 builds up in the loop and drops pO2, the loop is vented and more O2 added.

    DPV research

    What is the purpose? (ie: get somewhere that can't be easily kicked to, less effort in the water, moving heavy equipment like a large camera, counter current more easily) What is the range and duration of most of your dives? (ie: are you looking to travel long distances, or with bulky equipment)...

    Steel HP100 or HP120 and reserve air in tank?

    I'm 6'3, with long legs, and used a Worthington HP120 as my single tank for a while. I liked it because it sat at a nice height on a table, and moved weight lower on my back to stabilize my light feet. I use them doubled now, and still like them for the same reason. But I agree, if you can try...

    The Canadian Navy uses the interspiro divator mated to a Apeks DST 1st stage, including for ice diving. Seems to work pretty well

    Tech diving regulator?

    I have twin Apeks DSTs, with twin XTX50s. I dive in the PNW, and have plenty of friends who dive Apeks, Halcyon or Scubapro, with no real differences between them. The turrets have never been a problem for me, and I like the conveniences they give, and I got the 5th port adapter added. Not sure...

    Lost buddy prevention

    Diving is a secondary duty in my job, and because of that the expectation is that we aren't very good at diving. Due to the fact we may operate in any condition or vis, we are both buddied up like you described, and also with a float to the surface. It absolutely sucks, for every reason Outbound...
