Rebreather CO2 Absorbent
The Molecular Products Sofnolime and Micropore ExtendAir carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbents we sell are ONLY for use in sport and technical diving semi-closed and closed circuit rebreather systems. Because there are a great many types and formulations of carbon dioxide absorbent, it is critical to use only the specific CO2 absorbent recommended by the manufacturer of your specific model rebreather.
We are proud of the quality of our customer service, but we will NOT offer advice on CO2 absorbent selection or use other than what you find published here. If you are uncertain as to what product to purchase, we strongly recommend you seek formal training for your specific model rebreather. We do not sell CO2 absorbent for any purpose other than diving.
It is critical to follow the specific absorbent use recommendations of your rebreather manufacturer for your specific model. Use of the improper product can cause problems such as excessive work of breathing or shortened scrubber times. Recommendations from some rebreather manufacturers are:

Stony Point Pier

Depth: 5 m (16 ft) to 9 m (30 ft)
Level: Advanced Open Water and beyond
Stony Point Pier is located on the western side of Western Port, and the eastern side of the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. It acts as a port for various vessels including passenger ferries to French Island and Phillip Island. As it's a working pier it's important divers stay out of the way of all commercial activities.
One side of the pier is for access to the ferry terminal service from Stony Point to French and Phillip Island, which is restricted to anglers. The right-hand side of the pier is accessible to the public.
Currents are a major factor when trying to dive at Stony Point Pier. Strong tidal currents swirl around the point and through the pier. Best dived on slack water, preferably at the end of an incoming flood tide.
You are likely to see Squid, King George whiting, Australian salmon, silver trevally, yellow-eye mullet, flathead, and snapper here.
Location: Crib Point, 3919
MELWAY Ref: Page 195 F5
Entry/exit: Access is from the beach.
See WillyWeather (Stony Point) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.
Facilities: Located at the end of Stony Point Road, the pier has Stony Point Boat Ramp and nearby parking areas available, with public toilets. There is a general store across the road.
Safety First: Do the right thing and use a dive flag and stay clear of boat traffic areas. Always carry a knife and/or line cutter to deal with potential fishing line entanglements.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.
The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
