+1 on self sufficiency.Yup.. pretty much anything goes wrong on the CCR, and you need to bail out ASAP! Very slim chance a buddy can help you bail out successfully if let yourself stay on a bad loop. A buddy can help with lost line, broke scooter type situation.. but CCR failures are yours to fix.
I’m not s big fan of team bailout gas planning, but I suppose some are..
I remember a post here from someone here who got convinced to bail out from a CO2 hit by their team, and I had an instructor who talked about getting convinced by the people on her team shoving regulators at her face that she wasn’t OK and just having buoyancy issues. Both were CO2 hits that presented as confusion and clumbsiness, not breathing issues.Yup.. pretty much anything goes wrong on the CCR, and you need to bail out ASAP!
