As I work towards completing my cert for Advanced Nitrox/Deco, I had a question that I'd like to hear from the gallery about....
I do plan on obtaining a AL30 or 40 and get it O2 cleaned for use as my deco stage bottle. And when I go on trips I might desire to take this cylinder with me and have it filled on arrival and before I hop onto the boat. This cylinder would be used as an independant gas source (being *very* aware of FO2's and MOD's) and at my safety stops so I can get out of the water just a bit cleaner than than if I was just on air.
When flying on a major airline, what considerations to I need to understand or undertake with this cylinder so that the airline will allow me to pack it with me in my checked baggage (aka my gear footlocker)??
