Actually, everyone on my boat uses 120s. I'm the only one using 100s. To answer your question, this styple of spearing means that 99% of the time you're seperated from your buddy. We'll always drop two or three divers on a ledge, wreck, or other structure, but you get seperated.
I started experimenting with doubles in order to have complete redundancy. A 120 is a lot of air, but it's still a single air source. Your high pressure hose bursts or something, you're in trouble. The subject of h-valves has come up, and I'm willing to take a closer look at that.
I'm still looking for the best solution. If I can't master the doubles, then I'm trading all of my 100s in on 120s, and will mount a pony to it. Also, I've started asking that on dives deeper than 100 fsw we buddy up and stay together.
The new Zeagle Tech is great with my single HP100. Not so great with the doubles, even with the backplate. Could just be my lack of experience with them. I want to now try a halcyon BP with explorer wing to see if I can get less sliding around of the tanks on my back. I'll probably pick-up a pioneer wing, as well, just to see how it fills with the single.
