Out of interest, how do you deal with rock bottom calculations during a dive? For a no-deco dive, I figure it's pretty simple: you could just have "RB-10m: 60bar, RB-20m: 85bar, RB-30m: 100bar" (made up numbers) among the notes on your slate. But throwing in deco obligations that increase...

My own interest in this question is due to the BSAC suggestion that your octo hose should come from the other side of your first stage than the first (assuming they both feed into the same side of the 2nd stage) so that it's the right way up to not breathe wet when your buddy is using it. This...

Ta, that's very helpful. I'll have to think about what to go for first. Is there a reasonably-priced DSS vendor in the UK?
