Greetings,

I don't know how i ended up here but I suspect it will be fun.

I've been in the Tech Diving game for a little while. I was originally trained on the East Coast and spent 14 years out there doing all the big bad wrecks while taking advantage of technology. I have somewhere around 5350 dives completed, about 2600 of them are gas dives, and probably more than 3000 of them have been on shipwrecks.

I completed my 52nd dive on the Andrea Doria and my 14th trip there this past summer. And also completed my 20th dive on the USS Monitor as permit holder and expedition leader.

I run a little company called Scuba Training and Technology / Tech Diving Limited in Arizona where we serve more than 20,000 divers world wide.

I've written a few books on nitrox and technical diving and three major sections in the NOAA Diving Manual (decompression, nitrox and mixed gas diving) ........

I look forward to contributing to the list.

Cheers

Joel,

We're quite lucky, especially the tech guys to have you with us.

I personally would love to hear some of your wreck stories including what it is like to dive the Andrea Doria over in the wreck section.

Joel, welcome.

If you you had those 3L Faber 232 bar DOT rated white cylinders available with a low profile side DIN outlet valve for around that price.....guys who want spare 02 and diluent cylinders for their Inspirations might stop paying the $279 they have been.

That valve is a proprietary product of AP Valves and we cant get em -- but the tanks we have piles of. Any rebreather diver should be able to use most any valve to do what you need. As to prices on tanks -- we are the largest single seller of Faber cylinders in the states. Our prices are the best.
