better get a second stage on that suit cylinder then!

suit inflation cylinders Si? anyone'd think you'd got a trimix course booked

filling a 1.5l bottle - from empty - off a full twinset is going to cost you ~15bar. less if you're just topping it up

I've just got myself a 6cu ft (0.85l) suit inflation cylinder which I've been filling off my ali80 as they're both 200/207bar

Trimix? Moi? Weeeeeell.... Maybe!

15 bar's not a lot... If it's got trimix in it then things could get chilly though... I know that He's thermal properties aren't favourable, but I'm not sure to what extent for various mixes.

Other alternative is filling from a stage.... A 1.5L bottle from a 7L of 50 - 100% is a big chunk though.... Whatever weaker mix is in my Ali 80 is the other possible though.



If there's no bother getting the LDS to chuck some air in there then that's my plan at the mo, I think...

well, obviously don't fill you suit cylinder from your twinset of mix, that would rather defeat the object - you may as well just run the suit off your backgas. I was meaning if you wanted to fill it off a twinset of nitrox
