anyone know what's going on up in Marianna?

Not I, but I forecast that the crowd density will be well above normal!

As far as diving at ppo of 1.2 I think GUE changed there standards a few years back and I know NAUI was thinking of doing the same. All my trimix dives on the ship wrecks of the great lakes are done at 1.2

Are there any suspected tox incidents that occurred below 1.4 where helium was not involved?

Mariana is fine, pretty much completely un-affected. I haven't been myself, but have talked to them today.

On the O2 thing, you guy's don't want to dive to 100 FFW on 32%, yet still want to deco out on 100%?
BTW, I don't think we may actually be at 100FFW when our depth gauges say we are, unless your gauge is calibrated for fresh water, it's a pressure thing, and FSW and FFW are irrelevant, it's pressure that matters.

yeah, maybe I just give up and go home.....

It's not a cave... but anyone hear any word on Rainbow River? I am trying to dive this weekend... something... anything...

[edl]

Do not remember the gentelmans name but one of the reasons naui was looking at ppo numbers was because of a diver toxing in a cave while diving on nitrox with a ppo of 1.3.

Rainbow River is gonna be fine. I like to put in at Blue Run and kayak upstream. Ive never bothered with scuba there though nice for snorkeling.

Yes, I do deco at PPO2 of 1.6 ATA, however, that is not the working portion of the dive, during deco I am completely sedentary. It is not as much the high PPO2 that concerns me, it is the physical exertion combined with the high PPO2 that is my primary concern
