Subject: Re: Rebreather Survey
BioMarine CCR155: 80 feet for three hours at pO2=1.4 on Civil War
shipwreck laden with artifacts followed by 45 min deco on 100% O2 at 20
feet. Used 4 cu ft. air and 7 cu ft O2 for the dive; the O2 at 20 wasn't
mine so it doesn't count. The best use of the rebreather for deco purposes
is shallower than 100 or so feet; advantageous use of the unit for deco
purposes with air as diluent at pO2=1.4 is shallower than 187 feet. the
best use for bottom time regardless of deco is anything shallower than
1400 feet. Is the Magnolia still in the Bay? The last dive I made there 
was on the Tecumseh; I used OC for that dive. That 360" dive scared 
McKenney so bad, he used Bev Morgan's band mask with surface supply. I 
know deep air is a forbidden subject here but I have made several dives 
in excess of 360" on air and lived to tell about it. These guys don't 
know shit. Rod
