I have know the people who own the Cee Ray fairly
well. I se and talk to them in between trips most
every weekend. Arnold, Mike, Kay, Mikey and
the rest of their crew and support staff run
very good trips, no better than anyone else when
the conditions allow it. I do believe you are
correct in that Sport Chalet books them alot for
trips.
If there was a problem with Cee Ray unknowingly
providing wet air fills, it's a problem that they
would surely correct. In fact, since you last
dove with them, the problem (if it really existed)
was probably already corrected by replacing the
moisture filters or whatever medium they use in
their system to ensure dry fills.
I don't doubt you found water in you tank. The
method you described in determining there was a
problem is very similar to what I would have done
if I suspected the same. The diference is, I
would have cracked the valve at the boat after the
last dive of the day and proved it first hand to
the crew and captain. The last thing I would have
done was air out the problem here without telling
the boat and charter first and awaiting their
response.
PS to Eins & Everyone else:
I tried to e-mail D'ville diretly with this
post, but the person at devil@hotmail.com is
not a diver, so I wouldn't trust the originator
and their intentions.
