Those tricky gas molecules are never behaving themselves... http://youtu.be/BxUS1K7xu30 Brushing up for my reply. Baha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome post dude!!!! I read them and gotta say that the last paper on recreational CCR deaths was interesting especially the fact that the majority of deaths that had information surrounding the death were deemed hypoxic deaths.

I think i like thinking, at least thats what I remember the last time I thought about it.

A bit of clarification needed here: I would like to say that I apologize if any of my comments were taken negatively. My dive buddy has accused me of having some kind of vendetta against the MEG and as I re-read the posts I had over the last few days they could be considered strongly against...

Yup, Kens probably right and your cells are probably fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Totally. The shrimp BOV and the gas flow make it really intuitive to manage. Diluent flushing with the shrimp BOv blows air directly back over the cells to verify content. If I was diving a rebreather with the oxygen in the inhale counterlung a diluent flush would take longer to blow past the...

First off, thank you for inspiring me to think critically about design, training and procedure. Secondly, thank you for not getting pissed at me for taking our conversation on one thread and making another one. I was hoping you wouldn't get upset but I thought this discussion is worthwhile to...

That's reasonable but would you be able to verify what you were seeing on the PpO2 display? I see your point about mCCR but I don't have experience with a CMF valve. Edit: I guess I should have asked, when you were trained on an mCCR, what was your training response to an abnormally low PPO2...

I've heard that a lot which I think is a dangerous suggestion but who the hell am I, because I don't have that much experience and I am not an instructor but I will say I think about failure and response all the time. It fascinates me. Was the skill of dealing with low oxygen taught as in they...

I think somebody in the dive industry who is well respected (obviously not me.. ;-) ) should put together a failure mode effects analysis youtube presentation discussing rebreather hazard control and unit specific weakness advantages. Edit:... Every unit has them. Independent and unbiased...

So with the response in an emergency to a hypoxic loop is to diluents flush why would you want the oxygen on the inhale counter lung? Furthermore if the diluent manual add valve is in the exhale counter lung the response to resolving an issue is delayed if following proper procedure given the...

I made a new thread as I totally derailed this one. Sorry to all about that. http://www.ccrexplorers.com/showthread.php?t=18165 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On another thread we have been discussing cell health and wellness but while conversing about cells another topic came up.. That of hypoxic loop. Quote below.... If you looked down to find your cells reading a PPO2 nearing hypoxic what would you do and why would you do it? Also please...

I'm glad you replied. Maybe this should be a new thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe there have been quite a few people who have demonstrated the extended period of time where PPO2 will drop. My biggest concern and the number one reason I'm turned off from that MAV position is that if a problem with the MAV occurs it's seconds from a disaster where as if the O2 MAV...

I realize it's been discussed a ton but has anyone ever been able to analyze the gas at depth just prior to the DSV in a rebreather that injects into the inhale counterlung to determine any kind of actual data, factual. The NAVY uses all kinds of old shit because it works yes but seriously it...

You have to wonder how the oxygen manual add valve was rigged either in the inhale or exhale counterlung as this was a deep dive it could possibly have been an issue of manually adding directly into the diver at depth. I've heard many times that this isn't an issue and the design of said...

Opinion here... I believe that proper calibration and checks are more important during the placement of a new cell than changing a cell exactly on the 365th day. Attention to detail with any calibration, attention to detail and thorough analysis of cell activity following a "voting"...
