Equipment Decon?

[leam]

What do you normally use for washing off scuba equipment that has been "in the environment"? Also, what special circumstances, like leaking feul, would require additional decon methods and materials? What would they be?

We normally use a dip bucket of soapy water and then a dip bucket of vinegar water. Not sure why vinegar but...

ciao!

Get the firemen to foam you down. It works great and they like playing with the suds.

Unfortunately most of our FDs are volunteer; there's seldom anyone at the station when we train.
