Not a bother my good friend. Good to see another complete lunatic joining the ranks.
Best if you email me and I'll send you any info you want.

brent@divetheworld.org.uk.nospam

If you can work out my mail address from the above, then you have sufficient IQ and are qualified to dive your Dolphin in this manner.

I've never been a fan of active SCR even on shallow dives. If I were you I'd look at making it fully closed-circuit, like the KISS. The Dolphin is perfect for it.

i can confirm andy is mad as the rest of us
he already has all the bits to go ccr and his unit is heavily modded already but He's just doing a bit of exploring with it as scr
and he's gone in to this with both feet! my brother in law is now the owner of a lovely set of twins with trimix stickers on from andy.......not bad..as he's only open water! but he does look the part

Andy i'll post your question on another list thats maybe more suited to this question

and once i get over this bend i'll be gaging for a dive at Dorry!
kind regards john

Hi Andi,
I've tried trimix in my dolphin. I used tx 29/35 and O2. I push hard my dive and survived. I calculate my dive with a ppo2 of 1.4 but the wreck was a little bit deeper and i was in 1.6 for 27 minutes.
If you wanted more info, feel free to mail me.
Take a look here.

Regards. Mikel.
