Is your air flowing and is it safe to breathe? Here are a few tips to make sure you’ve got a cylinder full of safe breathing air:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Get air fills from a reputable dive shop or club.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Ask questions and be observant of compressor maintenance, fill procedures, breathing gas analysis, and records.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Conduct a predive gas check. If your breathing gas has an unusual odor or taste, do not dive with it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Check your cylinder for carbon monoxide (CO)—an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas. Electronic CO detectors or color indicating devices can detect the presence of CO in breathing gas.
