    What happened to the "thanks" button?

    ok then! if I like a SB page, does it link to my personal FB page? what is the connection to FB? that's actually a real question, like , as in, not a joke....:crafty:

    What happened to the "thanks" button?

    thanks for the response. I "liked" it better the way it was, but not a biggy. I am getting a niggly little feeling that everything on the net is on the verge of getting assimilated by FB... god help anyone who gets tired of the monotony of FB flavored everything. g

    What happened to the "thanks" button?

    I'm wondering what happened to the thanks Button and the tally. I think it's valuable for folks to be able to say if they have found a post helpful and conversely, I think it helps give a little incentive for folks make actual valuable contributions rather than total BS posts. if it's gone for...

    Rebreather hygiene question

    my o2 cents: there is a one way valve right inside the exhale side of most if not all DSV's, little saliva has a chance to come back normally, all exhaled air goes through the scrubber, a highly inhospitable medium for just about any life. the Inhale side is probably one of the closest things...

    Rebreathers and fast current

    to speak to the OP, diving in current with a rebreather is different, it's harder at first but also comes with some perks. there are pros and cons. the cons: changing depths, particularly being forced to change depths by the current is, as has been said, cumbersome and, if not done carefully...

    12-Year Old Builds Rebreather

    "At the age of twelve, Evan became rebreather certified while designing and building his own custom, closed circuit rebreather (CCR), for a science fair project. Now at age thirteen, Evan has dived off of four continents, and plans to be the youngest person to reach the waters off of all...

    Recurring Costs

    I found diving recreational OC even to be expensive when I took into account the cost per minute of diving I was paying overall per trip for those fleeting moments under water. even with the cost of tec gear, the bulk of cost per dive trip is in travel and lodging and boat/staffing. If you...

    Recurring Costs

    You raise some good points and I would sure hope people resist any kind of fad mentality when getting into rebreathers, you should seriously think about whether all the expense and hassle is truly worth it for you. It's a very personal thing. People tend to move to rebreathers once they reach...

    Recurring Costs

    if you dive a lot you can defray the costs of cells over more dives and use sorb more efficiently (throw out less), if you dive infrequently, the overall cost per dive will tend to go up (cells age whether in use or not, more unused sorb gets dumped). I buy my sorb in bulk, bank a variety of...

    Apocalypse Rebreather

    I believe for the apoc to be an improvement over other mCCR's, it would have to show at least better outcomes than the small margine of the handful of total mCCR deaths to date (5?). That said, if the apoc were just as good as the average mCCR, but had mass appeal, that would probably still...

    Apocalypse Rebreather

    If you are suggesting that we should only go with what is proven then we should probably avoid making any conclusions at all and even steer clear of rebreathers entirely. There are very few, hardly any, proven statements about rebreather design and safety. Without proof either way, we are...

    Apocalypse Rebreather

    I don't see how you can argue with the statement that if people rely on automation too much that they increase their chances of fatal mistake. Maybe if people stopped trying to sell eCCR's as "safer" fewer folks would meet their end on them. There is no evidence that the "safety net" concept...

    Apocalypse Rebreather

    I don't think this will be truly concluded until either the apoc comes out or they close up shop without paying back those who pre-ordered. As for the time people have had to wait for a product, on one hand I think people need to own up to just how risky it is to give money to a start up...
