all4scuba05:Why would you need to be redundant about ANYTHING if you and you buddys are so good that neither would be OOA and neither would get seperated? You spend so much time and energy learning how to dive with them that you're forgetting that you also need to learn how to dive solo. You WILL be solo some day. Sh_t happens and you are not exempt.
Please tell us all about your team diving experience, so we can learn from you.
Learning to be a good teammate is also learning to be self sufficient so that you can manage both yourself and your buddy in the event of an emergency. Separation can occur, though it is exceedingly rare and has never to me within the group I regularly dive with despite diving in visibility that can be measured in inches. But, we do plan for that occurrence, which is why we do carry redundant equipment.
