My nearest OHE dives are relatively shallow mines, usually a 10m level and a 20-25m adit, yesterday I was in the 20m level at one of them and took 3x7l as bailout.
After the dive though I was pondering whether 2x80s would be preferable or in some way more advantageous.
I am not comfortable with less than 2 bailouts for redundancy, so can stage one of the 7s if preferred, usually the dives don t incur a deco penalty or very minimal so I am purely thinking about return leg gas volumes.
Obviously 3 bottles is slightly more complex in terms of management, and adds further failure points but adds redundancy and reduces drag if one is dropped.
Just wasn't sure if someone brighter than me and thought this through.
