JT: Actually we stage a backup AL80 of oxygen at the 20' stop and a backup AL80 of 50/50 at the 70' stop. Neither of which we've ever had to use, much less ever need to send someone up for more gas. What kind of crazy stuff are you guys doing? If my 70' bottle croaks on me and I can't get the gas (highly unlikely in the extreme) or I lose the bottle, AND I can't get to the backup bottle hanging on the line, AND I can't share with a buddy, then I just pull out my backup deco schedule and work my way up to the 20' stop on bottom gas. But then we are talking about 4 or 5 friends diving off my own boat as a TEAM and not some randomly staged cluster of divers on a charterboat. The more I hear about this stuff the more I'm glad to be doing this stuff with just my friends on our own rather than joining in on some of the clusters I hear about on charter boats off the east coast. But then what do I know. The only charterboat I've been on in the US was the Starfire in Puget Sound and they just do recreational stuff. -Kent- Capt JT wrote: > Kent: When things go south and you need to get a stage down to someone in a > hurry, do you: > A) Run around the boat and read the little taped bullshit labels > on the top of the neck > or > B) see the MOD in 3" letters with name and send it down > > I know things are cold up there, didn't know you could get a brain freeze > at the computer > ;-) > > JT > > At 12:20 PM 8/14/00 -0800, Kent Lind wrote: > >JT: > > > >With all due respect, this is bullshit. > > > >EVERY single bottle has the bottle contents, analysis results, date of > >analysis, and diver's initials marked on tape on the neck of the bottle. > >The 3 inch numbers on the side are for underwater identification, not for > >telling different diver's bottles apart on the boat.
