    Is the WKPP still running that much helium for shallow dives? I ran into one WKPP guy recently and he had dug out the bicycle innertubes for his stages because helium has gotten so expensive.

    Since I am a retired Marine do I still have to have proof of DAN Master Insurance?

    I ran into a GUE modded JJ on a boat dive recently and it was a tidy bit of kit.

    It seems that the on board 50's are combined dil and BO and for BO purposes the gas is accessed via a long hose to a second stage bungeeed around the neck.

    What is the protocal for hypoxic gases? Are you leaving the hypoxic mix at your neck at and near the surface?

    our gases have not changed. we dont do that much diving shallow.
    haven't seen much bicycle inner tube these days but it was probably AJ. he's a real nickel rocket

    I'd suspect he's referring to requiring 21/35 or 18/45 for shallow support dives, where most of your time is spent around 20-70ft. I was under the impression that Nitrox is allowed, provided all of the gas divers have reached a shallow stage of decompression.

    Case by case basis for use of 32% or 30/30 at certain sites under certain circumstances.

    I don't know about the TLS 350 cave cut, Kelly. Two weeks ago, Steve Gamble told me that DUI dropped EE as a rep when EE started pushing Santee. Steve's now the DUI rep in the Gainesville area.

    EE is now a santi dealer. but this doesn't have anything to do with the suits we wear on the wkpp. i prefer the dui suits but wear santi undergarments and heater

    Does this mean you're not ready to move over to team "Blue"?
