I guess I have been luck with my Cochran Nemesis IIa nitrox. I do not use it for technical dives, but I go on at least one live aboard trip a year and use the Cochran for 4 or 5 dives a day for a week straight. I always start the week with new batteries and they last the entire week- usually around 20-25 dives. Mike --- Art.Paltz@R2*.CO* wrote: > Dave, > > What is your normal dive profile?
