Cave one is an awsome dive. Not exactly what I would call a cave but it was scenic.

Tom, The OUC has a role in the community. Its just not in air testing with the equipment they currently have. I am not going after anyone and I have always supported the local dive stores (I have even sent people to your shop) but contrary to your statement I do not obtain air from shops...

Hi Tom, I know your just joking but lots of others might not. Can you please explain to me how the OUC tests for Hydrocarbons? Why is it that everyone else has a flow over a filter for a period of 10 to 20 minutes, if you can just put a little bit of air into a pony bottle and get valid...

Anyone attending the meeting on the 25th?

No I have not disappeared but rather busy diving and enjoying the summer holidays. My motivation is and always has been safety. I will continue to train people to be safe. You obviously thought Puffer was me because of his obvious concerns with Health and Safety. I am not part owner of any...

Tazz, First you spread rumours about the charter boat it was off of and now you are questioning the course of actions that Tom and Mike chose to deliver the victim to EMS. Where are you coming from? How long do you think it would take them to get to Blockhourse from the Gaskin? Do you think...

Why do drive through bank machines have braile key pads?

Have not seen any mining equipment. Lots of cars over the years.

I am posting/forwarding this for OFWF's info: July 25, 2003 To Members of the Diving Community: Toronto General Hospital would like to thank you for your continuous and much-appreciated support for the TGH Hyperbaric Medicine Unit. We hope that we will be able to count on your support...

Well then they are fools. Please re-read it. I did not drop the hydrocarbon statement.

2000 requires accredited lab testing and 1985 does not. 2000 does not require testing for SO2 and NO2. For not having the standards you guys are sure arguementative. Also I did not state that the OUC could not test for Methane. I stated they did not have a methanizer to use with their GC...

Hi James, you have very valid questions. CSA Z-180.1-00 specifies the use of an accredited lab. The requirement is in the standard itself. You are correct. CAN/CSA-Z275.2-92 (reaffirmed 1999) is the National Standard of Canada for Occupational Safety Code for Diving Operations. The OUC...

They do rent but this time of the year you might want to call first. There web site is http://www.diveseewayvision.com/page2.html if they are all out on rental then maybe Taz can line you up with one of the Brockville area shops.

You guys should stop pulling sneakys pin. You all know better. DCIEM has been renamed Defence R&D Canada and they have been sending their samples to Maxxam and Seatech for quiete some time and therefore the air samples are done by an accredited lab.

There are several labs that can be used. The key is to use an accredited lab that utilizes appropriate testing proceedures. The standard specifies "accredited lab".

Last week county road 22 (Shanly Road) had a detour on it due to consturction. Hopefully they will be done before the 26th. It is well signed and Cardinal is not that big.

The main thing to do is follow the manufactures specifications and fill at a rate not exceeding 300-600 psi/min. CSA B-340 clearly states that the service pressure shall not be exceeded when the container temperature is 15 degrees C and 125% service pressure when the container is 55 degrees C...

You are going to have to travel to do your dives anyways so don't let the geography be your deciding factor. Do some research on the instructors and their teaching styles. Find the right match for yourself. Everyone learns differently. Some instructros travel arround for teaching as...

A rigid replica of the International Code flag "A" not less than 1 metre in height is the minimum size for an alpha flag under the collission regs which state: Rule 27 Vessels not under Command or Restricted in their Ability to Manoeuvre (a) A vessel not under command shall exhibit...

It is an "industry standard" as they have mentioned above. As Ontario Diver stated TC only requires the vis by law at the time of hydro. Dive shops are looking after your best interests by doing an internal vis on your tank when brought to them empty --ie contaminants could have entered your...
