Recompression Chamber Out of Date

EBT

Ah cmon, this is a bag of wank. does the thing reliably pressurise, do the operators know what they're doing.

Follow the purpose, not the process.

So we should understand that your no longer apologizing??

The forum has not changed and is still the wrong place for your vendetta...

It certainly does appear to be personal since you refuse to let it go...


Your Quote....
************************************************
After speaking with Stefan, and with 20/20 hind sight:

1) This was the wrong forum for this.
2) The wording was not great.
3) This was not intended as anything personal against anyone.

Apologies.

As I said in my *RED* blob sent:

"With all due respect, you're an ass. I have an uncertified chamber too. Get over it".

Lead, follow, or get outta the way. If you're on my boat and get bent... you can stay bent. Come to think about it, just make it simple: Stay home. You won't get bent, and we won't need to use our chamber.

What does certification include? Some one to come and see if the chamber has had all the filter changes etc?? or just some greedy bratsad wanting some money in the form of some documentation?

Does an un-certified chamber blow up?

Are you trying to warn us for our own safety or are you just complaining?

I design and sell high pressure systems for a living.
Although I agree regular inspections are important theres no need to be silly about it.

2 years is nothing, half of us are likely using scuba tanks that havent been inspected for far longer than that plus (even if they have been) offer much higher risk anyway as lord knows how they have been miss treated.

What does the inspection cover? Structural integrity? Operation? Without knowing that you cant really draw much safety conclusions.

Is the RINA inspection rating valid/required in US? Compulsory or not?

Unless the chamber has been dropped from a very great height since last inspected Id know how long Id hesitate before climbing in it if I was bent.

not very long. Then again your talking to a guy whos used a chamber that brought up, salvaged from a sunken dive support vessel at 60m, refurbished and now we use when needed

nice bit of spidge

Sure it should be safe, reg safety inspections go a long way to ensure that, but these things dont go from safe to not-safe the moment the inspecton period ends...

Middle of nowhere ages from nearest chamber, bent, I sure as hell wouldnt let a lack of cert stop me getting in that portable chamber!!

I think it's time to close this thread. It is just too stupid for words.

Yeah, I'm tending to agree with Charlie.

Considering you previously said you were out of line, and apologised, and now, 15 months later you revive a dead thread (in fact, your first post to the site since that apology), which is serving no-one any useful purpose, sorry, thread closed.
