Here in Queensland,a somewhat antiquated state of Australia,we have a
government diving inspector who is an Ex.Police Diver and as such is very
set in his ways. To give you all a good example of 'his ways',I was recently
fortunate enough to attend a seminar on the PRISM rebreather, at which the
diving inspector announced that as there was no mixed gas diving in
Queensland we could not take the PRISM for an ocean dive. When it was
explained to the inspector that even air was a mixed gas and as such by his
rationale there should not be any diving at all (except skindiving),he
became rather confused and agitated. The final result was that we could use
the PRISM in the pool,but it was with 100% O2. I suppose we should be
thankful to have the Great Barrier Reef so close,there's so much to see at 6
metres when i'm using my C2.NO problems associated with depth for me.
On another note, thanks to all those people who pointed me in the right
direction 'subscription wise'.
