Dave, what happens if the block is switched off or you run out of dill without any offboard connected?

Will the block loose pressure, and get water-ingress through the checkvalve for the offboard? And fill the tubing?

I've been thinking a lot about your setup, since my rEvo is now on order.
And I really like the idea for OC-access to O2, via inflator/octo on right side. Its the best application for a low performing POS i've seen. I think I'll adapt the O2-idea right away, but I'll perhaps further discourage any buddys and myself from breathing this reg at depth by covering it with:

If I can find it in green.

Bailout from dil, will have to be a necklaced reg to start with.

I find your system very well thought out, and is looking for any single point of failures - but I dont see any, because you can disconnect the offboard completely, and go oc directly from this supply. Though not very likely, as that would mean a leak after the block. And you can still move connector to your BOV.

Only thing: Doesn't the BOV get very heavy, with QD, swivel and all?
