Hey Forrest, I'll be staying at the Boiling Springs campground. I wouldn't mind taking a "look" with you if you don't mind. Just let me know either way. I'll be at RD tomorrow afternoon.

Tom knows best. The Picnic Loop is a two scooter, 4 stage dive (minimum) on OC for myself. And yes, a lot of deco. You'll dip below 200' a couple of times.

I think most people that speak of the Loop refer to the Tour that Tom points out.

Cheers,
Chris

I would do it on CC, but curious, on OC are you using the same protocol as the RB80/clone divers using stages (drive gas) and keeping backgas for emergencies?

Dove Roubidoux today. Very low flow. I've never dove here before but it was definitely not anything you're having to fight whatsoever. Visibility was about 30ft. Water temp is 65 degrees per my buddies computer.

A rebreather would definitely be the way to go. And yes, absolutely, our RB divers always plan to be able to exit the system from the furthest point on OC if needed. If you'll be at the workshop this weekend, you'll hear me talk a little about the safeties we place in the system, which enables this contingency even above and beyond using backgas. And, of course, that whole concept is why we adhere to semi closed RBs.

Everyone be aware, there is a homecoming parade going down rt 66 which will block off Roubi. This is from Bob at Oydessey Scuba. I will try to get a time when I check out at the 911 today

What clone divers are these?
