Carl, these are YOUR words: "Perhaps you misinterpretted my scenario. During the initial stage of the dive, the depth was approximately 185'. At this time, the computer showed a glass ceiling (I don't remember exactly, but the most decomp that was required was about 7 minutes at 20' - these numbers may not be exact). The depth" ************************************************************************** * * YOU DID HAVE A PROBLEM IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS OF THE * DIVE!

Yes, Odins are not the most durable second stages around. They are reliable but not durable. the maintenance is expensive too. Few repair shops really know how to fix them and often as not they will damage the reg during disassembly and give you the "extra" parts back in a paper bag. But I still love them. Call me crazy. (I also like Porsche 911's and married women) (that was a JOKE!!! Ha, ha!) -dan ps: I really was kidding about the married women.
