New deepest cave in Canada.
Peter Norris and I drove for 16 days (round-trip) and accidentally found the deepest underwater cave in Canada. I will have pics and maybe even an interim map this weekend at the Midwest conference.

Is that a mini-sport booster filling a 50 using a 50 as the drive gas?
Oops. Not that deep, actually. 300 feet.
Heh, yea. You do with what you got.
How'd it do. I was gonna get a mini sport just to top off 40s and Everybody talked me out of it.
Awesome find. The cave reminds me of Indian with the white'ish walls speckled with goethite.
Nope. It's an old KISS baby booster. Don't nock it as I have had it for years now and for road side stuff it has been great.
No knocking, I'm impressed by it filling 50s. I've been wanting a cheap, easy boosting solution like a mini sport for a while, but everyone's swayed me away from the small pumps. It would only be used for when I need to fill al40s that I forgot to fill in cave country the previous trip. I've transfilled some, but it always seems my two oxygen tanks are low enough that I can't transfill the oxygen in 2 40s much past 1800 psi. I don't want a big booster because I don't have room for a big shop compressor.
You don't need a large compressor, I run my ag30 haskel off a 30 gallon craftsmen. I fill mostly rebreather bottles and from time to time top up 40&80 bailout bottles.
