    Rebreathers are different, My evolution RB the first stage IP for oxygen (02) is set at 7.5 -8 and the Dil is set at 9-9.5. Your talking a whole different system and set up from OC to CC in that regard. ---------- Post added August 20th, 2013 at 04:57 AM ---------- Agree...well said!

    A FB friend posted his brother died today in Ginnie Springs

    It wasn't something he would normally do...No!. Carlos had many dedicated bottles. Some of us use bottles for different mixes. Carlos had dove the Andrea Doria the previous week and was unable to use all his mixed gases and stages. From what we gathered he had an empty 02 bottle so he used it...

    The bottled was labelled with a MOD 20 sticker. Carlos insisted it was just air. He had many tanks, and used one and filled it with air at home. Other than that MOD sticker there was no verification on the contents mix or date. Yes his computer was set to air as the planned to started that...

    The bigger picture here is simple... Firstly Carlos, filled his tanks at home and I know he would have checked them. The thing here is he didnt label the tank, having many simular tanks as he did he grabbed the wrong one while packing up his vehicle for holidays. Secondly when asked about...

    Shouldn't matter what how many you have, each should be dated and labelled with the pressure and appropriate MOD as soon as it's filled.

    BP/W is just a tool

    I say...ask those divers in the video how many dives they have before blaming the gear. Back plates take some getting used to. These divers could be just using the set up for the first couple dives? The BP/W need to be set up, then there is the weighting, tested and likely adjusted a few...

    Near miss diving doubles for 2nd time

    The scarey thing I find, is an Instructor taking you in an area as deep as 300 feet, while you have no experience in doubles. Just think for a minute! had you had any failure being equipment or just diver error thats a hell of a drop and in my opinion and a very big risk. The deepest I dove...
