I'll be in Cave Country starting this weekend, but we fully expect that most of the caves will be blown out for days if not weeks, with the exception of Ginnie and Manatee. I've spoken to several people who are estimating an enormous rise in the rivers which will cause many if not most of the...

After Hurricane Harvey a week ago, I think everyone is very distressed to see Hurricane Irma develop into what is being touted as potentially the strongest hurricane to ever hit US soil. CCRX would like to wish all of our diving friends good luck and safe passage through Irma now that she has...

Sorry, I'm just having an off day! :)

Hi Oya, no I am not saying they are deliberately releasing skewed data. I am just saying that there is conflicting data circulating about this very subject. To blindly accept a company's marketing material as fact would be naive in my opinion.

I would keep in mind that the "study" was conducted by Micropore and would at the very least should be considered "marketing material". Simon Mitchell recently presented at OzTek, refuting Micropore's claims of superior cartridge duration vs. granular duration.

This is not unusual for Ai cells. I suspect that after you let it sit out in air for a day or so it will drop slightly.

I'm curious what you mean by this?

Regardless of whether you choose to store partially used scrubber, you should under NO circumstances ever dump the sorb out of your scrubber and then repack it. There are numerous examples of CO2 hits due to this UNSAFE practice.

Unfortunately, another CCR fatality this week: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/opp-diving-accident-hospitalization-1.4249829

At a depth of 195 meters, that must be a challenging task ahead of you! I look forward to hearing and seeing more about it. Thanks for sharing!

Great job Barney! Looking forward to seeing more!

Yes, it does seem odd. I don't know any more of the details than that. There very well could be more to the story.

Here is a newspaper article about the fatality. http://www.capecodtimes.com/news/20170726/deceased-diver-identified-as-one-of-englands-best In speaking to a member of the crew, it sounds like Steven had an inflator malfunction which resulted in a rapid ascent to the surface from over 200 feet...

The gentleman's name is Steven Slater. His family issued the following statement: 'It is with extreme regret that we post the following. "It is with absolute sadness that we have to tell you that Steven died on Monday 24th July whilst #diving in the United States. We are all heartbroken...

Any plans to implement one for iPhones?

Hi Michael, there is no need for a stand with the X-CCR. It sits upright just fine and is high enough that it is fairly easy to don while on a boat. I really dislike stands because they ruin what is a perfectly balanced CCR unit and also ad entanglement points. I think you'll find that the...

That's a pretty cool contraption on the nose of the DPVs!

Ross, I don't believe I have ever seen any of the folks studying the bubble counts implying that other mechanisms in addition to elevated bubble count could or would not also impact the frequency of DCS.
