Working toward Cenotes
You’re auto-inflating. Which bladder is it?
That’s the hangup with dual bladder wings. You can’t tell.
Well, I'm not as concerned about the instant descent from total wing failure as I am diving balanced. So I don't have the second inflator connected to an LP hose. So only one thing could be auto-inflating. Not the two with the dry suit.dirt simple in (big) steel tanks:
properly weighted
drysuit
stay in trim
in Al80s:
properly weighted
swim up
I just like the third option, beside dry: use-the-suit or wet: swim-up, of being balanced but taking the time to plug in my extra bladder so I can hang relaxed at the safety stop. Yeah, I could hang from a lift bag. Deploying that while finning to hold some depth could be fun. My extra bladder is more easily managed. Plus I can swim out of the kelp with it. It might s*ck doing that with the lift bag.
Is that extra corrugated hose really more complex than the drysuit and its issues??
Maybe you'd rather have your ascent be an exceptional case if you’re diving wet. I'd rather not. I think we often have that debate about planning on CESA vs carrying redundant air.
(And not to stray further from the fold, but it might be there is no buddy nearby to help. There's a reason I'm diving redundant (sidemount) cylinders.)
