Proof as to why Nitrous Oxide should not be used for diving!

Wed Jul 07, 2010 11:00 pm

Always the experimenter, my family always said...

This, my friends, is proof positive that Nitrous Oxide should only be used for a mild general anesthetic, and for racing engines. From the looks of this chap, it appears as though it is not appropriate for use in a Divair regulator.

Holy toxic algae bloom! Is that the creature from the green lagoon? :wink:

Hope the Divair performed better than the diver.

Looks like Rob had one great 4th of July weekend.
