Marc Blackwood replied to Andrew Georgitsis's discussion 'COPIS' in the group MC/MX Series mCCR Rebreather
I guess I've misunderstood. I've always thought that relying on sensors to tell you in real time what you're breathing was a big issue (and I've always found it a little weird since most of us OC guys rely on electronics on the…

Dive Report: Wreck of the Santa Clara

Back in January, Nick put together a trip to an unknown schooner that no one in our immediate group had ever been on. As many people know, the weather and swell has been fairly uncooperative with regards to diving this winter, and the initial charter of 8 divers was canceled. Scheduling conflicts forced us to split into two separate charters, and the first of those two was canceled.Yesterday, the final "and then there were three" of us (Chris, Kim and I) met up with Danny Howard to greet heavy…See More

Posted on February 22, 2009 at 11:00am 3 Comments

Four of us went out on Giant Stride for another dive on the Palawan yesterday. We broke into two teams of two, Maciek + Christopher and myself + Ari. Unfortunately, our designated photo/videographer wasn't in attendance.



More information on the Palawan can be found on Nick's January blog post, but suffice it to say it sits upright in about 130 feet of water, with the highest structure reaching… Continue
