| 1964 - 1800 PSI cylinder, Mistral twin Hose Valve and home made wetsuit. 1967 - 200 feet (60M) on a single 80cuft cylinder (9.6l modern equivalent), no resilience whatsoever. Modern valve - single hose Dacor 200. 1967 - 135 feet (41M) 20mins plus 5 mins deco on a 50cuft cylinder (6l modern equivalent) 1969 - 225 feet on air. The thought of it is enough to give me sleepless nights these days. Somehow I survived and I have to say that my diving is far more conservative nowadays. PS found my old SOS Decompression Meter in a box in the garage the other day - the VR3 of the late 60's. |

| Decompression Meter? Luxury! We made do with the BSAC/RNPL 1972 Air Diving Table. A simple choice, either a fortnight between dives or a fortnight at 5m after the second dive. Anyway, as we're at an AA meeting, I've got a flat battery. Where's that nice man?
