Yes.
Same as many people I had technical diving experience and 10+ years of diving before fundies.
But after fundies I was so amazed by how good can one really become on the basics that it really changed the way I looked at diving.
I have all sorts of "expensive" gear...
happened to me once following a T2 dive - Only when looking at the photos taken during deco later on I noticed that the reg I "usually" put on my o2 was swapped with the reg on my bottom stage. They are not the same model so actually could have noticed this pre-dive.
However - it doesn't matter...
a lovely theory which I never cared and never will care about in any dive I'll probably do in my lifetime.
and I have shifted like so many other divers from 70% of helium to nothing - I'm still here.
is this theory real - yes. practical for 99.999999% of all dives - IMHO no.
OR perhaps it's...
so you would bail out and gas switch using QC's during entire deco?
i.e. you will complete the entire dive on your BOV? must be a really good WOB on that BOV where can I get one?
Shrimp/Divesoft definitely not up to that - I would gas switch to a regulator ASAP after going to the BOV.

Same here - except not extreme exposures.
So in answer to OP:
If one asks himself "should I risk my lungs over + 10 minutes of deco?" the answer is obvious to me.
I'm not aware of any agency not recommending air breaks beyond a certain time on high PPO2.

To OP:
1. You asked for a bailout deco regulator - means your have a rebreather.
2. Rebreathers are expensive.
3. Not looking into anyone's pocket - but:
- If you can buy a rebreather - you shouldn't be saving on a regulator.
- It's the equivalent to hearing a diver saying that helium is...
I haven't seen an al80 cylinder that's 5lbs positive when empty - which brand are these?
Bands + manifold + another 1st stage add weight.
Same weight as single al80? no - go ahead and do a weight check
it saves you guessing weights and being unsure if you're properly weighted.
Empty cylinders...
In some countries (Israel summer for example) - this can get even hotter.
In some countries (Israel summer same example ^^) - the water will be ~84f.
8 hours being on a boat makes sense (ropes off 07:00 -> two dives -> back at 15:00).
Takes me also 2h do drive home.
No major scrubber issues...
Need a little clarification - are you using ambient filters on your video lights?
I'm actually interested how these work at depth - since shallow obviously it's just ambient light (real ambient - from the Sun ^^).
Matan.
Thank you for the reply.
regarding AFS - I completely agree and I'm also changing to that - super frustrated from multiple videos ruined by LX10 AFC honestly
regarding SS to 60 during 4K 30fps I understand - just not sure why let the camera determine ISO for you.
Also I'm shooting CinelikeD...
great stuff - #1 is definitely the best. this was shot ambient light and just the Keldan filter?
quick Q - I find that with my setup (similar to yours LX10 WWLC but I have x2 bigblue 10K) I'm having auto focus issues.
are you shooting with AFC or AFS?
also - why S priority and not full manual...
Never heard of Hollis neck seals.
just get a silicone neck seal for your wife's suit - and this time get 2 (to have a spare one ready).
eBay searched drysuit silicone neck seals

subsurface solves your quiz visually - enjoy :)
your T1 instructor will definitely be more helpful than me, but:
SOP is quite clear - plan your dives using Decoplanner - Than pragmatize (which as you know has a set of benefits when is comes to gas sharing scenarios / plan adjustments / etc.)...
If you've taken T1 - contact your instructor.
If you haven't taken T1 - contact a GUE instructor to start working on becoming a T1 diver - you won't be disapointed.
To answer to the topic at hand (based on my personal opinion):
GUE SOP - all decompression should be planned based on...
