Awesome project! Now you just need to add a bookshelf with some books to read and some board games for those deco stops.

That’s amazing wow great work👌🇨🇦

Great metal work.

Very cool!

VERY nice! Now you just add a couple of waterproof cushions, and you could seriously have a nap on deco!

I have a SI Tech Neck Tite on my suit. You can sleap when you rest the loop against the ring but the position is so awkward that after a while you will wake up because of the neck pain and actually you are supposed to monitor the pO2 and listen to the solenoid firing all the time.

Super cool amazing work, I would love to build one here in india

Great project and well done! How do you keep air inside? Do you bring a tank down each time you dive and open the valve? Nicely done on the documentation of the project also.

OC divers keep the habitat filled with gas.

Good effort a lot of work has gone into that. Bit more than the usual upturned IBC.

Is the next project going to be a habitat sauna? For those long deco stops 😜

Maybe we need habitats also to 4 m and 9 m. :)

Put 300mm length of pipe nominal bore to suit widest dimension of wrench handle. A lot tighter, easier ;)

Curious of the choice to go with Zinc over Magnesium for fresh water corrosion protection?

@arcticicedivers7001

Maybe because the chains etc are galvanized they couldn't use magnesium?

So you made it out of a mailbox?

No bailout in hand reach inside?

how does one usually keep warm in the 4 degree water for longer periods of time, this winter we had a few dives at 80 minutes in 3-4 degree water and i couldnt feel my legs or fingers when i reach surface. is there anything i dont know about warm socks and drygloves?

There are no miracles. Big enough drysuit, as much as you can fit underwear (we use weezle extreme+wool), heating vest and argon. We started to use argon after Finnish military made a study about it. It really helps with below 4C water. After that you just have to learn to be in cold environment 😊

I believe not. OC divers use the habitat as well. I would not play with fire in 100% O2 environment at 1.6 Bars. You would not have much time to enjoy your joint.

what purpose does the zinc anode serve?
