    I started using a CO analyzer during my Trimix courses with Shirley. She made one available during the course and insisted that we analyzed not only for content of He and O2 but for CO as well after every fill. After the course, I went and purchased my own. I now have a Storm case with an Oxycheq O2 analyzer, Analox Helium and O2 analyzer, and a Analox CO analyzer, dive computers, tape, sharpies and all the goodies I need for analyzing and marking all tanks with content, date, and time. Having everything in one spot for analyzing, marking tanks and adjusting computers for the mix on hand makes it convenient and leaves me no excuse for not checking and verifying the contents of all tanks prior to diving.

    Thanks Shirley!!!!!

    That's a good idea. I'm going to do the same thing when I have a few extra bucks. I already have a Pelican case that will be the right size.

    I'm waiting for the bacon-pattern duct tape.

    LOL, Mike! I DO have bacon duct tape, but it doesn't work out for writing on as well.

    Thats a Storm iM2700 Case, I could have probably went slightly smaller, but I already had this one laying around, so I just ordered new foam and laid it out. And yes that is pink duct tape !!! Shirley made me put that in there !!!!!
