I've never been diving anywhere where there were so many places with near 100% coverage...maybe I just need to stick to diving the south pacific!

I've created a much more slimmed down, user friendly, version of this article, i'm wondering if a mod can swap it out for me?

Re: Oxtox and fatality at 1.4 PPO2

In this case, the person seemed to have a history of not quite feeling right at depth. Because pressure changes in the sinuses and inner ear often lead to some degree of vertigo on a dive, it seems all to easy to shrug off signs of such a sensativity. Sounds like it could have been a hyper sensitivi...

Re: Greetings from Greenlake!

evenings are good, on occasion weekdays are a possibility. drop me a line with some options. I like doing something simple like cove 2 the first time I dive with a new buddy. g Howdy and welcome! We're almost neighbors, I'm on the other side of Aurora, in Greenwood. What days can you dive?[/quote]

Just thought I'd chime in here and say that my wife and I have had quite a bit of instruction with Curt and Mel and I can only say good things about the quality of their teaching. They are top notch. In this day and age and specifically with rebreathers it's hard to find an instructor or destributor...

To trick out any style rebreather for the redundancy I prefer for extended expeditions adds a few thousand. For training and gear my first rebreather venture cost about 12...
