I am looking for information on the minimum safe operating depth for the Drager Dolphin.
I'm looking at a trip that would involve a few days of 15-20 ft/60 minute dives, in addition to several days of reef diving. I'd like to dive the Drager, but have heard of the risk of shallow water blackout. I've looked through my old course materials and don't really see this issue addressed beyond avoiding long surface swims.
I would appreciate any insight RWF members can provide.
Thanks!
