Inerts Offgassing and Sharing Deco Gases

Unfortunately, we were already pointing and laughing.

And this is the 'perfect team' that Mal wants us to trust with our lives?

The pony ain't going on Ebay yet.

The perfect team is something that exists on the internet. There's a reason we are called "chimps". We are very, very far from perfect

pair of gas chuffing chimps they were too... i brought back more gas than the two of them put together!

You joke, but James isn't the first. Howard ran out of deco gas on a dive with GLOC and I last year. He just swapped to backgas as well, very smnoothly and without drawing attention to himself. Unfortunately, we were already pointing and laughing.

I only pull his leg after the sniggering over my SAC on tech1
I know that I can, perhaps, push an ali7 to 30 minutes now - but only if a lot of that time is at 6M waiting for my buddy's Suunto to clear

You did well to make it back at all with two chimps around

I thought that, but they had no choice. They wanted to hear the rest of my jokes.

I'd hand them my octopus on the single 10.

I think we should have an out and out willy waving SAC off!

I've only worked mine out on a few of my measly 28 dives to date and i think the best was about 16l/min.

I have found that not worrying about my SAC (and hence cutting my buddies dive short) so much on a dive makes it go down too. Which sounds like an obvious thing to say but i think that your SAC is what it is and shouldn't be a competition.

I dont really buy into this whole go diving alot and it'll go down business. I would have thought it'd vary massively from person to person and even from dive to dive depending on a whole bunch of things like your size/ fitness levels/ how tired you are/ stress/ exertion levels on dive etc.

Out of interest does anyone have a consistant SAC most of the time?

Complete tangent and thread hijack - sorry!
