Surely the fills would be cheaper. Regards James Dibbs Sydney, Australia -----Original Message----- From: Joel Silverstein [mailto:joelsilverstein@wo*.at*.ne*] Sent: 10 July 2000 7:00 AM To: Robert Silvers; techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Re: Argon in dry suit -- how much warmer? Argon does not make you warmer it just keeps you from getting cooler. You must start out warm, if you don't it's a waste. The differential between air and argon is negligible when breathing air or enriched air. When breathing helium it does make a difference especially with the high helium 40-70% HE content. On the 35% HE content i rarely notice the difference between the argon or going off my back gas.
