Re: How often do you check you PO2?

I tend to be pretty aware of my unit, listening to the solenoid regularly (not constantly) and feeling the loop volume. At constant depth, I probably don't check any more frequently than once every 5 mins or so, as I run min loop vol too. I check much more frequently at the start of the dive, during the descent, and for the fisrt few minutes on the bottom as well as very regularly during the ascent and deco. On an average dive with a 30-45minute bottom time I reckon I look at the handsets about half a dozen times during the bottom phase. I also tend to take a look immediately before I do anything significant that's likely to take away some of my focus - like starting to lay line or bit of spidge liberation.
