Here's the real solution to this situation:SNIP You know, the really funny thing about this post is that while it sounds like a joke, it is absolutely right; the "good old boys club" is the easiest, most cost effective way to cut through the bullshit. We've got a dive shop a ways from here that has mild techie pretensions, Northeast Divers near Boston. If I am to believe what I hear, they are routinely doing overfills for half the divers I run into. But when I stopped in, on a trip down that way, with a couple LP steels, and asked the girl if she could run them up to a modest 3000 psi, she gave me a filthy look as if I'd just asked her to palpate my hemorrhoids, and launched into a prim little lecture about the evils of overfilling and how "we don't to that here". OK, I guess they have a right to save the good treatment for regulars, but I wish they'd spare the rest of us the outraged act. >1. Assemble your own cascade system. If you don't know how, you shouldn't >be doing it anyway. Though why a cascade? You don't need for nitrox, and a booster makes more sense for trimix. The only thing you really need a cascade for is mixing on a grand scale, or bottling 80%+, and even then the cascade isn't going to get you reliably much over 2000 psi. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
