Redundancy question

[Freedive WI]

Thanks for the replies so far John and Inspiration.


My worst case would be penetrating a wreck and cutting a hose on something sharp inside which would negate using any of the rebreathers characterisitcs- like semi closed mode.

I am all for a team apporach to problem solving and am glad to hear that you use some form of it.

You mentioned that you have 25 cuft of bottom mix. Is that enough to get you through your deep stops and up to your air bottle (150') or do you carry a third stage on deep dives- 02, air, bottom mix? Let say diving the Gunilda or the Kamloops.

You mentioned snagging gas form your buddy. Can you plug your rebreather into his bottles? Or, are you just talking about grabbing his stage?

Thanks again for the replies.
