SCUBA inert gas megathread

From ChatGpt:

"It is not wrong to say that some CO₂ might be cleared with shallow unconscious breathing, but it's completely unsafe to assume this is sufficient for life support. The Neptune III, like any scuba regulator, is not a ventilator. It depends on conscious or at least effective breathing effort."

This worries me because it means when I'm unconscious my breathing won't be adequate enough, to clear the CO2 efficiently. Does anyone have a rebuttal to this?

It would be nice to have an answer to this scary question. Please.

Is this adaptor appropriate for the scuba method? I purchased that and a 40 cuft cylinder off of Amazon. Now need the nitrogen itself..and the mask. debating out of Neptune III or Neptune space G divers. The OceanReef Neptune 1st stage SL-35/TX regulator as required for the scuba method one poster made a list of steps for just says when googling and researching that it's for Space G divers via description so not entirely clear if it functions the same with Neptune III.

All of you best of luck with your CTB

From chatgpt:


If a person falls unconscious (for example, due to fainting, head injury, or another cause), their brain activity and awareness are greatly reduced. When unconscious, you don't have conscious perception of sensations like pain, fear, or suffocation — your brain isn't "awake" enough to feel those things.



So I guess you won't feel anything after falling unconscious, so there is no reason to worry about exhausting the co2.

anyone have a clue as to what adapter to get for scuba if your based in us using nitrogen and connecting it to the Neptune III regulator? I used the one as shown in Slovak guys method and gas monkey but it fits cylinders made outside my country. It's the only issue I have left before having everything to CTB

Have a look at this post. It might help you in the right direction. The Ocean Reef regulator is also 300 bar. You can also have a look at @jacrispy's setup.

I can PM you the adapter if you are serious about the SCUBA setup.

I know that this post was made some time ago, but would you mind sending a pm about the adapter? It's really the only thing that's holding me back right now and I'm completely hell-bent on CTB.

I'm in the USA. I tried ordering my adapter parts from the main French website in this thread, but it keeps saying "out of stock." I contacted them, and they told me they do not ship to the US. So I ordered my adapters from a UK website. They also do not ship to the USA so I had to get a middleman, have it shipped to them in the UK, then they shipped it to me in the US. Just know that there are two very similar parts for the female part of the adapter on the UK site - MK1 and MK2. I'm pretty sure MK1 is the correct one. But I ordered both just in case.

From what I understand, all U.S. inert gas tanks have the same threads so this adapter setup should work for argon too. I'm using nitrogen. Once I get these adapters, I'll have my SCUBA Din regulator and the adapter. Then all I'll need is the mask and the nitrogen tank.

@Tears in Rain - you seem to be the resident expert here. I was reading in this and other threads about having to test the tank/connections for leaks once everything is hooked up to ensure nothing goes wrong. Is that necessary? And if so what is needed to do it? I'm going to post photos of my full setup when I have everything, and am on the verge of getting out of this world.

Hey, would you mind sending a pm about the middle man? I was going to purchase from that website but saw it was out of stock.
