Redundant Buoyancy

[Michael Guerrero]

What do you use for redundant buoyancy?

I like using a drysuit, so that is my number one choice. In an upcoming trip where wearing my drysuit won't be practical, however, I plan on carrying a lift bag. I will have to practice with it first, though.

Lift Bags | Halcyon
"The Halcyon Closed-Circuit lift bag provides the most reliable source of redundant buoyancy at depth or on the surface; these bags eliminate the chance that gas will escape from your lift bag during ascent or while on the surface."

Double bladder or dry suit.....the dive dictates

I carry a 50# lift bag and a SMB that doubles as a 30# bag, so far I've just used them as a lift bag and an SMB but should I personally need a lift...

Oh yeah, I don't do drysuit.

I use a neoprene dry suit so my redundant buoyancy is the suit materiel itself. You will lose some lift the deeper you go but there will always be enough lift there to get you to the surface. In a case where everything else has failed and I have no air to inflate other devices I can just drop my weights.

Used to be I had to worry about things like this. Deep breath and still sink with no equipment. Now, due to old age and fat I need to worry more about redundant weight - LOL

Drysuit and liftbag.

Drysuit, liftbag or dual bladder. Dive dictates the configuration.
