I know when I get a new piece of gear, especially life support, I like to know exactly how everything works. I read manuals, take it apart, stress it to failure, call the manufacturer, and then put it in service. I apply the same to rebreathers. I think everyone should be taught all the failure points of their life support, symptoms of, and corrective/preventative actions. If you have no first hand experience with hypoxia, hypercapnia, tasting "caustic cocktail", and other unit specific failures (loop leaks, valve failures, etc) than you either haven't been diving SCR very long or you shouldnt be diving CCR period. Know thy enemy. :45 min in at 230' is the wrong time to wonder if that is just condensate and saliva in your mouthpiece. So if its to late to get proper training, go sit on your Lazy Boy with your Atlantis/Dolphin on, using air for diluent, with your canister half full of water and soda lime. Have the Medical Examiner call me with the results. >From: Scott Cherf <cherf@ci*.co*> >To: trey@ne*.co* (Trey) >CC: <cam@ca*.co*>, <Techdiver@Aquanaut.Com> >Subject: RE: Stupid Rednecks >Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2001 17:56:44 -0600 > ><< attach1 >> _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
