Well, first off,I followed that perfectly fine in my head, at least until I got bored and stopped reading half way down...Second off, who figures rock bottom to 50psi increments anyways? Do the same...

Well, I find multiplying by 3 just as easy as multiplying by two...and multiplying by 3.5 is a lot easier than multiplying by 2.3.

Anyway, the whole reason I asked about it was because I was...

If I fill an empty tank with 37 bar of O2 and top to 100 bar with air, what mix do I have?

If I fill an empty tank with 370 psi of O2 and top to 1000 psi with air, what mix do I have?

If you do...

Let me just say this up front... I don't want to start a fight. If anyone prefers diving with a bar SPG, and their buddys are all on the same page, then I have absolutely no problem with that. There...

How does an SPG in Bar actually help anyone?

For a second, I thought the diver cartoon was two divers entwined. That would give a new explanation on why Lynne likes the caves so much.

I'm still waiting on the Bonaire photos from this year, but these are sweet! I so want to get back to California sometime soon. How old do kids need to be before you can get them fitted for a...

That's a pretty dang good underwater lobster angel drawing. I take forever writing anything with dry gloves on.

Thanks for the great writeup!

Diving USA From West Coast to East Coast:

California
Cold Water
San Diego diving in the Kelp forest, and wreck Alley was really cool. I have only been there once, but am trying to get back...

I use the cowl-less design in very cold water, and only occasionally feel the nip around my neck. The neck part is so snug, there isn't too much gap.

Yeah, I could see where Seattle boats would need more accommodations for re-warming in between dives. You West-Coasties aren't as hardy as us stout midwesterners :)

For the most part, if it starts...

Most boats have 12V batteries. I wonder if anyone has ever made up an adapter to power their suit heater off the boat electric. That would be on the surface interval. Then again, you don't want to be...

Anyone here have experience with suit heaters? I'm planning on not being cold next year in Superior, and put one in the budget to get. I've got an older 21W HID with the medium sized battery (~10Ah...

This post is useless without a link to the petition.

Ken, your photos are always awesome. I am partial to the coldwater California pictures you take though. The warm water reef stuff has just been done to death. The stuff you do at home is very...

I have some pages from the old Salvo site printed out and I wrap that around my can light when I travel with that, but this takes the cake.

If the tank in question is a rented AL80 with a yoke valve, I've just started ignoring those minor bubbling

I'm not trying to discourage you, but I had a bucket full of these valves, and couldn't generate any interest. I finally took them to the scrap shop, and they gave me $2/lb for the brass, and I...

Thanks. We're gonna need more tanks in a couple years.

Thanks!

You obviously have a new suit. Do that with my gear, and nearby vegetation would be decimated for years.

Drysuits:
They keep the water out, and the stink in.

Honestly, I don't even think about it anymore. With an AL80 or something small like that, I don't need much buoyancy compensation either way, so its all suit. Actually, the last dive I did on an...

It does look like a newly settled damselfish of some sort, but I'm not up on my West Coast critters.
