Basking sharks typically range from 20 - 26 feet long but no worries, they eat plankton and are harmless! Then journey with us to the premier wreck diving jewel of the world, Scapa Flow. The area teems of history that spans the centuries with more than 150 wrecks that are scattered across the seabed from 18th century sailing ships to more recent fishing vessels. We plan to dive on the wrecks of the German fleet including the SMS Coln, Brummer, Dresden, Markgraf, Konig, and others. The massive hulking wrecks are truly amazing with so much to explore. The un-salvaged vessels of the German High Sea Fleet offer some of the greatest wreck diving the world has to offer. Truly a bucket list trip for any wreck diver!

Although I am an Inspiration CCR IT (I have been diving the Inspiration since 2000 and the Megalodon since 2005), I did the full Optima CCR course with Lamar as he had other students to train. During this time Lamar and I had hours to chat and it quickly became apparent that there are serious mistakes being made by rebreather divers as a result of their lack of understanding of oxygen (O2) toxicity in the rebreather diving environment. Lamar asked me to write an article to address some of those mistakes. This article builds on prior articles that I have written on the topic of oxygen toxicity that have appeared on the Dive Rite blog. Oxygen toxicity is a consequence of the biochemical damage that occurs in cells as a result of oxygen free radicals. Whenever oxygen is present, oxygen free radicals are formed. The number of radicals is directly related to the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2). Our cells have several mecha- nisms to inactivate oxygen radicals and to repair the damage that they cause.
