I believe that Expedition Pacific Abyss will be on discovery again this coming Sunday at 9 am.

It was good. What I want to know is: how can I learn to rebuild a flooded handset for use in diving the next day while in a remote location?

Yea - that was cool, especially on a "legacy" unit

Couple a questions:

The guy whose rebreather failed? His O2 was reading high right. No bailout? Why no dil flush? He was at ~130ft. Wouldn't a dil flush has let him know how and if his computer was even working? Even when at 90 ft and the thing quit.... he didn't bail to OC.....I know that it should have still been working ok, and kept him at the last settings it knew right? He could hear the o2 sensors clicking, so he knew it was still functinoing?? Was he not following any rules?? BADDAS??? He just totaly blew everything my instructor has been teaching me out the window.

Were they diving air up to 300ft??? Then I see they switch to trimix for the 'deeper' dives.... eh? Shouldn't they have been diving trimix on anything deeper then 200 or so? Anyone else catch that?

I'm a newbie when it comes to these, but at least safety has been drilled into my head. But that guy just cornfused me!!

Thanks
Heather.

I wouldn't take anything from the narrative too seriously. It is "dumbed down" for a wide audience. Rich, Brian, and John are all very experienced and qualified divers. It could be that John was monitoring his cell readouts on the analog side of the display.

Congratulations to the boys! I thought it was a great show.

Aloha,
Charlie
