Clip some off to the right side sometime and see what happens. Its not great, I promise you that.

Worse than the left? Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you're talking about nose clipping, right? If so, that sucks on either side...I actually think it's easier to leash them, maybe because the leash lets the bottle lay flatter once you get up to speed? I guess no matter what, by the time you have enough bottles that using the right is required, you've already got so much crap on you that comfort went out the window a loooong time ago.

No, leashed on the right is uncomfy and slow as well. Try it, you'll see what I'm talking about.

You turn into a sail with all that junk on anyway, and lets face it, there is nothing streamlined about any of it at that point.

Seriously, at some point a backmounted CCR and sidemounted bailout CCR is going to have to take over. That's just a retarded amount of OC/SCR drive gas.

Do UTD/GUE allow SM'ed bailout?

Edit- nvm you mean 2 breathers. I've seen a few breather guys SM LP120's filled to 3600, that's a LOT of gas, and being SM'ed, it's fairly streamlined.

Yeah, two RBs. That's it. Shoot, if you're really worried, take two RBs sidemounted as bailout (so three total).

Would make these expeditions a lot less complicated once the RB technology is sufficiently safe.

I could be wrong, because in perspective, Florida has very few dive sites that justify a rebreather so I haven't looked at them all that much but....doesn't the lime have to be breathed at the surface to "warm up"? If that's the case, could you actually trust going back to a cold rebreather?

I know some people in NFL are trying SM breathers and breathers for bailing for sites like EN, where there's Sm passage left to explore. Ginnie Springs is also a site where people are doing this because stage bottles are being drained and stolen in the back, so setup dives are incredibly difficult in respect to timing.

 

[PfcAJ]

Those aren't drive bottles, they're OC safety bottles being exchanged for new ones.

 

[DiverLaura]

actually, I think they do take multiple breathers on some dives, back up breather, staged or something and deco breather...


Lime is more efficient when warm, but it starts working when it starts getting hit with CO2 is my understanding.
