diving with doubles

[DiveCaptDean]

I use doubles of three reasons....

1)  comfort of trim..
2)  extra gas
3)  Redundancy..redundancy..redundancy....

Many divers around here are diving shipwrecks....it takes a little extra time to view a wreck well...and in many cases..extra training and extra gas as many of the good wrecks are deeper than 100ft...water is also cold here and this makes freeflows happen and is generally harder on equipment..thus..necessitating redundancy..redundancy..redundancy....

I know that one can achieve redundancy..redundancy..redundancy... with an "H" valve..( barring a disk failure)  but..jump in your dry suit with enough undergarment to deal with a 1 + hr dive in 34 deg water and see if you can easily reach your primary shut off..ok then try your secondary shutoff....if you can do this..comfortably....i am good friends with the assistant stage manager for Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas...i am certain they are looking for people like you..and i could get you a tryout..  I cannot comfortably do this..so i like having those two bottles on my back just in case something happens.

Oh yeah!!!!!  twins make me look cooler too....and i need al the help i can get in that department.....
