Geeze...I thought just the Vodka in the BCD Martinis (obviously shaken, not stirred) would do that....

With all the salt, they should be BCD Margueritas.
I can think of one reason to sanitize a BCD bladder. If you find yourself in an out of gas situation, and the only thing between you and certain death is the gas remaining in your BCD. I've read where divers have breathed that gas and gotten sick and even died because of the bacteria that populate the bladder of a BCD. But if it's cleaned and sanitized? Those extra breaths in that BCD bladder just might be a lifesaver.
just fresh water works perfectHi
I have read that steramine is used to sanitize the BCD bladder. I cannot find it in my country (Norway) and I am hoping someone know of a similar product I can use.
StarSan is available here but I don't know if it is recomended to use.
Thanks
