Re: Nitrox - Trimix
You've got to be kidding.... It is indeed necessary to use a gas than the Trimix for inflation, but are you saying that we should be using air on deep dives because the 6cuft Argon bottle most of us use causes too much drag to be worth it? I don't ever consider my Argon rig a "concern" unless it's empty and I want to dive. Even if I'm using the 13cuft Argon bottle I'll take the extra drag and a clear head any day of the week. [/quote] Chris. You read way too much into that short post. The extra drag is not ridiculous, but does exist for the tank mounted AL-14. My point was that people should realize they most likely will need the extra equipement when they go trimix. It is just part of the price of entry up in the northern states. And as far as the "need" for separate inflation gas, even that is not always the case. I know FLA divers, both cave and ocean, that have used backgas (trimix) for suit inflation. If the water temps are warm enough and the dives short enough it can be done. It just seems wrong though... -Michael (EDIT): Sorry Matt and Chris, my bad. Chris, from what I've seen posted later in this thread I guess you've got a reputation for being "MEAN" ! But what I think of most is that you have got the most hilarious avatars ever. This latest Batman one is my favorite. I would love to have seen theses people's face in person... (Sorry for the off-top post, but I didn't think this warrented it's own thread!) |
