ViS Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Did I say tank? I meant ocean Also, I got to test out my two new toys . One is a 125cf Faber steel tank, and the other is a slave strobe for my camera. With the new tank, I did a 73 minute dive, max depth 19m but mostly at 12 - 14m, and still had 90 bar left from a starting pressure of 210 bar. That's probably only impressive if you're a diver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably only impressive if you're a diver That is impressive, especially while carrying camera gear. But it begs the question... why did you surface with that much air? Where is that dive? (Fly point, halifax?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 why did you surface with that much air? Where is that dive? (Fly point, halifax?) Not sure if you've ever dived either Fly or Halifax (the pictures are from Fly by the way), but the slack tide is 60 minutes at best (usually 30 - 40 minutes). 73 minutes was pushing it. I started with a slight ingoing tide and when I got out, the tide was beginning to rush out at a fair pace. I didn't get out by choice.

Rumpig Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'd be guessing that's a ray of sorts. Nice nudibranch! Cheers Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackeralEnvy Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Lol thats experience for you. When i got down to 18 meters with 200 bar i come back up with about 50 bar after only 30-40 minutes if im lucky.... Nice Mooray ( not sure how you spell that one) shots by the way. Those guys are great characters! i saw the biggest one of my life when i was diving in vanuatu... Id say it was a 10 meter (at the least) snowflake. Its a pity it didnt stay out of its whole for long enough to get a decent picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
