I would like to know if anyone on this list has any FIRST HAND information
about oxygen fires in scuba equipment.
There has been a lot of talk on this list about O2 cleaning being
unneccessary but not having blown yourself up
while smoking and filling your car with gasoline is not proof that the
practice is safe. It may just mean that you are lucky or that your work
habits allow you to get away with an inherently unsafe practice.
I own a dive shop and have heard a story about an O2 fire in scuba gear, was
that just BS or is there real reason for concern here? They guy who told me
the story is on this list so I guess I will find out if it was BS!
BTW I do O2 cleaning and it is a tedious job that I would dearly love not to
do. The idea that the traing agencies and shops dreamed this up to make
more money is ludicrous. I would make far more if I could dispense with all
of this O2 huppolla. The expense and logistics of keeping o2 cleaned
equipment keeps alot of people out of technical diving - I want them diving,
buying gear, taking courses, etc - not spending a few miserable bucks for
an O2 cleaning that inhibits the growth of the sport.
