tee hee hee.

Although not quite true. I did some cool dives with RB^2 (^ means to the power of, or 'squared') in Tank on the Saturday. I didnt notice at the time that RB's RB was taking on stack. Hence it overran stack on Sunday. We still dont know if stack is good, bad or indifferent. But until the stack is whack jack, RB cops da flak.

AHH yes the left handed hammerhead. ;D ;D ;D

You have no idea how close you are!
The stack issue is a scrubber duration warning. It was reset to the lowest value when it was sent back to MR Hammerhead  :D so he could FIX the mess the pretender ??? ??? here in Sydney made.

All is good now!!
On that note i thought a 57 meter dive with a bottom time of 30 plus minutes with a total dive time of 110 minutes was very acceptable. :o :o

RB with the RB

So do we take from this that you have plenty of stack and that lack of stack will not be a future issue?

WTF is stack?????

As it turns out, it is the scrubber timer. It is factory set for 60 mins (on a 3 hour scrubber. Nice one Kev. ::)) but can be adjusted to 600 mins (on a 3 hour scrubber. Nice one Kev. ::))
Once you reach your preset scrubber duration countdown, it alarms the unit. Not a bad idea, but has some flaws as stated above. The alarm comes on to the handset as 'Stack alarm', hence the gags.
