Equipment for Adv Nitrox and Deco Proc

[AbyssalPlains]

With doubles with an isolation manifold you can shut down the left or right post and still have full access to both tanks. It's only in the event you have a tank valve issue (burst disk or tank o-ring typically) that you have to isolate. Only then do you lose half of your gas.

I guess I sort of knew that in the back of my mind, but not really apparently. Thanks for clarifying, Hoosier!

Are doubles even required for the deco proc class? I know they are recommended, but are they required?

Not required.

Doubles, or a cylinder (large capacity) with an H or Y Valve.

One should be careful stating what may be required or not required in a technical course. TDI requirements are minimum standards for the instructor. The instructor may, and usually does, require something above TDI's minimum standards. Few serious TDI instructors allow their students to take Deco Procedures and Advanced Nitrox in single tanks.
