Hi , i was wondering if there would be any purpose to diving with Doubles, have a 19 cubic foot for an OOA Situation and a 40 cubic foot pony for deco.

I prefer to rely on gas management and Teammate(s) for the "OOA Situation".

The doubles are already a redundant back-up. OOA would only happen with poor gas management.

So that you can give your 94lb wing something to carry.
 
The 19 would just be in the way unless it was an Argon bottle. Then it would have a good purpose.
 
THATCHER'S PROFILE:
Certification Level: Master Instructor at PADI and Trimix Instructor

I would hope that a Trimix Instructor would already know the answer to this.

He's PADI...so probably not.

Unless you had an equipment failure, of course that would probably be from poor maintenance but.....
 
Hmmm. I read the question as "should I be diving doubles..." if I already have a deco bottle and pony?

Why do you have to get into agency bashing? That is just so...........childish........
