Certainly sounds like a solid plan. My diving at the moment allows me to deco out on my backgas reserves (as I always produce a lost deco gas plan.) I wondered if that was something that changed with the much deeper dives where this isn't a realistic choice. Sounds like you have a good procedure to deal with it should the brown stuff hit the whirly thing.

The rule we have is that if we are together at the end of a dive and he is low on deco gas, then he will go onto his backgas (assuming he doesn't have his spare tin with him) whilst i finish my deco. When i've finished, i'll go onto backgas and he'll use the remains of my tin and vice versa. if he does have his spare tin with him, then he'll go onto that one and so no real dramas. No point having two potential casualties if you can help it. |
Yeah, that's the procedure I use too.
