Diver Joe:James... 1. The RB boys had BO Jugs. 2. They are in motion coming over the ledge in front of the plane. Thats me on the OC and on my knees sorting out my reel... Note there is no silt. I hesitated putting it online..but just like when I was there at the time...I said WTF and DI my way.
3. When an upsteam goes TU...you don't lose any BG. I know you realize this. Yes I can reach my valves
Thanks for your comments and concerns they are all valid concerns and I dont doubt for a moment that you are a very safe and knowledgeable diver. Im happy to listen to your advice and recommendations... Just request that you don't take offence if we dont always adhere to it.

Bailout gas belongs with the diver. It should not be hanging off a ledge. I can appreciate the thinking behind upstream valves, but the gas doesn't do any good if you cannot get to it. I will gladly take the freeflow and the breath of air that comes with it, while I am getting gas from another source.
I do not take offence. I posted in the hope of discussion. In return please don't take offence, if we decline to dive at times for what we see as safety concerns.
FYI, we do not use the S**** word, only you folks do
