[Freedive WI]

Whatever happened to analyzing your tanks before you dive?

When we dive, especially mix, every tank gets analized before you dive. If you need to take your reg off then you check it again. We check with both an 02 and an HE analizer to make sure we have all the bases covered. We also sign off on them in a team dive log. Everyone cross-checks their buddy's gasses, MOD's and initials them in the log. Cross-checking these things makes things a lot safer than just a bunch of stickers.

BTW: Just got out of Lake Mendota today. We spent 4+ hours freediving in 46 degree water. It was warmer this weekend than last, but the fish were no where to be found. :'(
My main trimix buddy , who is now hooked on freediving, can't believe that we can fit four divers, and gear, in a Honda hatch back. :o He just kept commenting on how much easier this is than dragging around all the stuff needed to do a little mix diving. I mentioned to him that while our bags maybe lighter, our wallets aren't. ;D
