Hang on, chaps!
Is the guy thinking of doing deep/techy/complex dives? Or is he just after redundancy?
If he's not using a pony, then is there really any problem with carrying on his current diving but with an extra 12 litres of air? On balance, he'll be safer, surely? Swapping regs is not difficult - I'd suggest it's a lot easier than buddy breathing when OOA. An extra 12 is heavy, true, and he'll need to check his buoyancy, but overall, I'd suggest he's going to be safer, and less of a liability to his buddy. Looks like he needs some to take some advice from his instructor on configuration, but I'm finding it hard to see a downside...
Any thoughts? |
