I haven't done the Joe Rogan podcast yet, but would be willing to!

Generally, that would indicate that the octo itself needs service. A repair mechanic will first check the intermediate pressure to rule out an HP seat issue in the first stage. Then if that is okay, they will disassemble the second stage and likely replace the LP seat and readjust the cracking pressure to bring it within specification. It is a quick fix.

Thanks for your lovely message!

yes!

Thanks for reaching out. Some fill whips will have a pressure gauge on each end, but if not, the pressure will equalize between the two tanks. In other words, the big tank fills the little tank until the pressure is the same on each side. If you put the end of the fill whip with the SPG on the big tank, you can throttle the valve and stop the filling process early if needed by simply watching the gauge on the supply side. I hope that makes sense. Best of luck.

Oh my goodness! Thanks for sharing that. If you go to 50 Sussex today, there is a little cafe beside the falls. On that building you can see the old address sign on the building for 1 John Street.

Hi there! You might want to connect with DiveSoft and ask them for the WOB stats. They can share the data from their CE testing. I don't currently dive the unit these days. I opted for a backmount rebreather which works better for me as a photographer. I can be like walking a dog off leash and the shifting body positions and trim are not ideal for SM rebreathers. Cheers!

In the depths we are exploring it is fresh water. If you descended deeper, you would eventually hit a"halocline" and salt water.

Cool! It is a great product!!

It should be noted that all the line laying activity from the dive base located in Chamber 3, towards the boys, was accomplished from the early hours of Sunday 1st June until John & I located the boys on the Monday evening (2nd June); thus a period of 44 hours. The boys had been missing for nine days by this point. This operation was conducted by the Thai Navy SEALs , Ben & Maksym, then John & I. Each of whom were operating as a line laying team, progressing forward from the previous team's furthest point of penetration. There were six line laying dives that advanced the main line towards the boys. In sequence these were conducted in this order SEALs, Ben, SEALs , us (U.K), Ben, us. The total distance between Ch 3 & the boys was 1507m, there was of course one continuous guide line through this passage. John & I laid 935 metres, Ben laid 253 metres, & the Thai SEALs were responsible for 319 metres. This has all been measured after the cave had drained. So yes, Ben & Maksym played an integral part during this stage of operation, but it certainly cannot be implied that most of the line was laid before we became involved, nor that Ben was responsible for the greater overall majority; as you have inaccurately stated. Furthermore, three days before the commencement of the main line advancement Thursday the 28th, John & I were laying line in shorter flooded sections up to Ch 3 where we encountered & subsequently rescued the 4 trapped pump workers.

@@richardstanton9231 Thanks for your answer. I have recently read your book about the rescue (and about yourself ), so my doubts about that aspect have already been accurately clarified ;) Best regards Joaquín

@@realvisiondrone I appreciate your acknowledgement of this. Rick S

@@JillHeinerth I wish it was on Spotify :(((

Hi Dusty, Yes, the Santi heated gloves are great, but the wires and battery pack can be a bit cumbersome. If you wear the right glove liners you may be comfortable enough. I like wearing the Fourth Element undergloves which are essentially a short wristed neoprene glove. If it gets wet, you still have comfort. A wool liner or merino or alpaca add a toasty layer for longer dives. Just stay away from anything with cotton or synthetics. They won't be as warm as good wool.

Unfortunately, you will always get echo and feedback if you don't use earbuds or headphones.

I guess, but I thought there might be AI software around these days that can fix that issue

Yes, not yet... but I imagine someone is working on that!@@stevea8099

I have used it on oval rings. Whether oval or round, it is just a matter of having enough smooth contact area to seal. Good luck!

Or lycra! Even better...

Both excellent manufacturers, but I prefer the straightforward simplicity of the Hollis system. It is less "fussy" and lighter overall for travel. You'll have it for life!

@@JillHeinerth thank you :)

That is wonderful! We call them three-wheeled smile machines! Enjoy!
