My strategy is to carry an offboard O2 supply and this was of course tested prior to the dive without problems (the 2nd stage was tested, this was the part that freeflowed obviously).

60m? ..... I know where you are coming from but I see little point in debating this further here, you're either happy to do it or you aren't, please bear in mind my location.
