Doubles work well down to 350 ft. Deeper than this and you would be in CCR country. Shallower than this and a CCR is definitely inappropriate, unless you are filming videos professionally. And even then, you would want somebody with twin tanks watching your every move. Particularly if you stop moving!

Are you telling me I should sell my CCR? Because I use it for shallower dives?

This is a joke, right?

PS. Sorry for the off topic again but it just made me wondering

Sorry. Nereas doesn't joke about it. That would mean he actually knew something about it. First he has to find it in google.

I am telling you that you are taking a huge, unnecessary risk, if you are diving with a CCR where you could instead be diving with O/C twin tanks. My statement is technically a conclusion, which is a form of opinion, but it is also very close to being a self-evident truth. You don't have to like truth. You can ignor it if you want. You can dive anyway you want. What you do, and what I do, are two different issues.

If you are diving with a CCR in places where O/C twin tanks cannot go, then that is a different story. In that case, the risk, whatever it is, simply needs to be warranted, and mitigated.

Ergo,

Any statement by nereas is truth. QED.
 
But why should I use OC if with CCR I can stay waaay longer and with shorter deco afterwards?

Did you have any CCR training?

Steve, thanks. I have not been around for a while, so I must have missed this info
:D:D:D

So basically you would dive CCR below 350ft, but not above 100 because it's too dangerous? :doh2:

Not only that, but he would recommend going CCR immediately after OW certification.

Heck, I'm sold. I'll definitely go trimix before 100 dives. Thanks Internet!
