Re: Multi-Gas computer/ Helitrox

Old school thinking was that if you ran less than 20% He, you just treated it like air. But to be accurate (and safer), you should address all gasses inspired. Running an air dive and a light He dive...

Re: spearfishing from shore

Just for your info: State regs prohibit spearing within 100 yards of a public swimming beach, any commercial or public fishing pier, or any part of a bridge from which public fishing is allowed.

Re: Helium Grades

Analyzing your final mix personally is a must.

But as far as grades of He are concerned, what are the impurities in a lesser grade (not ballon), and how would they affect the diver?

Re: Helium Grades

The issue with ballon grade is that it is not analized. You need to know what you are working with. My take on He is that industrial (99.995) is fine. It is better grade wise than medical O2. The key...
