    Enjoy the Journey

    Enjoy the Journey Perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of learning to dive a CCR is understanding and accepting the fact that you are basically relearning how to dive. Since many, if not most CCR students start their CCR training having already reached a high level of performance on...

    When Things go Kaboom!

    Jukka, I don't know if they have changed the seat material. I know that the parts have a different part number now, so I suspect that something must have changed.

    When Things go Kaboom!

    Yes, I think it is fair to say that the fault was the failure of the hp seat and most importantly, the failure of me to replace the missing OPV. These particular Delrin MAVs have literally 10s of thousands of man hour testing and use, and have shown to be extremely robust and safe. Had the reg...

    Hi Mark, no plans to switch from a Delrin MAV. I believe the problem was mainly due to the fact that the O2 reg had a seat failure and I had unfortunately removed the opv at an earlier date and just neglected to replace it. The fact that the MAV had not been serviced in quite a while did not...

    When Things go Kaboom!

    “DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!” In keeping with my philosophy, that all divers (including manufacturers and instructor trainers) should be willing to admit when they screwed up, I share the following event which happened to me today while teaching a CCR Cave course at Peacock Springs. My hope is...

    Cylinder mounting options?

    Hi Dansuer, I forgot, the specs for the Metalsub brackets are actually on the website. The width for the standard length is the same as the shorter versions (which are custom designed for SubGravity) If you click on the "Specs" tab on the website, you can see the width, which is actually...

    What’s Your Personal Safety Culture?

    Most of the stats did not really surprise me. The one that I thought was most interesting was this: "The odds of dying from something other than a medical condition increased approximately 60% for each additional 10 metres of depth." I would think that everyone already understands that...

    What’s Your Personal Safety Culture?

    For those of you who may have skipped the link at the bottom of Chauncey's post, it is well worth taking a look at. Interesting statistics to say the least!
