Yup. I think he misunderstood the trip and thought it would be a boat full of virgins

[quote=neilh]The only minor grumble I’d have about the boat is that the compressor could do with being a little faster as sometimes it took a while to sort out the fills – but that’s being really picky![quote/]

well....We were filling 5 x12l twinsets, 3 x15l singles 2 x12s and a bunch of ponies and stages.... and it was averaging just about 2 hrs to fill everyone with the various mixes etc ...about right for a surface interval during a weeks intensive diving I would say ...but hay !
nice report and Im glad you enjoyed it

Hazel,
If you think you'd be Ok to fill up to 10-12 12l twinsets with 32% (I realize the O2 may need a bit of logistics) then you may have a booking for next year

We were discussing this on the drive home and subsequently on another forum.

I would certainly be happy to return to your boat!

You have a PM

As you said above, no big deal on the compressor front - we weren't hanging around at all and the mixes were always spot on
