layering sorb

buggeriamold · 31st May 2005, 02:43

So, I have about 2kgs Spherasorb left over and probably won’t be able to get spherasorb again.

What would you do, layer it with other sorb (which I have been told should be fine) or chuck it.

I will only be diving it to ~30m

Mark,

I'd just layer it and use it. I wouldn't waste it. You really shouldn't notice any difference at all.

For kicks from discussions, I have 5-6 layers of different types and grades of sorb. Dived to 72m and 4 hours in relatively warmwater on the Classic-KISS last year, no issue as far as I could tell.

Disclaimer, was not a scientific test...

Well it may not be scientific, but it makes me feel good about my couple of hours at 30m!

Oh, in case there was a misunderstanding, it was meant to be 4 hours TOTAL accumulation hours - not 4-hour straight on a single dive...

Damn, I just notice that I post more when I am not diving...
