Maxtec Bulletin

We had a team of 7-9 people diving during the B25 "Mitchell" bomber recorvery project in Lake Murray, SC. Your analyzers provided an excellent piece of equipment for analyzing our trimix (18/35) tanks. We were diving two to three times a day to 150' with bottom times averaging 30-40 minutes. Decompression gases utilized were 50% nitrox and 100% oxygen. Visibility at the bottom was virtually nonexistent. We lost count of the dives but the B25 eventually broke the surface after 62 years on the bottom and is now in Alabama starting the restoration process. The Maxtec oxygen analyzer was key. In all the rush and movement of equipment it was critical that we have the ability to verify the oxygen content of every tank at the worksite. It made it easy to quickly check oxygen levels, not only as the tanks returned from the dive shop, but also anytime we had even the slightest question about a tank. Safety was the number one rule on the project and Maxtec facilitated a "no worries" operation, allowing us to focus on the underwater tasks. Thanks for all your help and support over the years.

I want to thank you and your company for the quick delivery of my analyzer. I ordered on Friday and it arrived on Monday.. I was glad to see this. Of course I was like a child with a new toy I had to look and touch and yes test it on a bottle. I was wondering about the how to with this unit....All others require a hook-up to a 21% bottle prior to testing a EANX bottle. But I went ahead and hooked up and the test was completed in less than 30 seconds. This was impressive, I had only one adjustment to do prior to testing and that was to set my calibration to 21%.

The unit is small and the protective case made it very good for my dive trip. I've used the unit four times in the last two weeks and other divers have asked and used my tester so I believe the divers will be coming to see me.

Thanks again for a quality product and I hope to order more in the near future.

I purchased the Maxtec O2 analyzer approx. 5 years ago. The unit is easy to use and always gave accurate readings. What a fantastic piece of equipment. Every nitrox diver should carry one on their dive trips to ensure their safety and peace of mind knowing what's in their tank.
