[PSUBS-MAILIST] Emergency dive gear

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Due to the zebra mussel issue in Flathead Lake, once we got home we washed all the dive gear and let it dry out before packing it away. Our next dive will probably be in salt water, but maybe in a BC lake.

There were no incidents, so no diving was required, other than the photography and videography dives that Tim and Shelly graciously took care of in the shallower depths in Yellow Bay.

I had prepared a couple of sets of doubles containing 15/55 trimix (MOD 250'), corresponding to the specified operational maximum depth for the sub dives on this trip. Decompression gases were 21/35 (MOD 190'), 35/25 (MOD 120'), 50/0 (MOD 70'), and 100/0 (oxygen, MOD 20'). I didn't end up using any of it.

In the absence of a required intervention dive, I wanted to save the mixed gas for some upcoming ocean diving. I could have probably fit in a quick dive or two within recreational limits, as I also had a couple of cylinders of 32/0 (MOD 100'), but at that point the prospect of having to pack up a bunch of wet gear and dry it out later was less attractive than just hanging out in the sun.
