| SCR vs OC.
I'm considering to by a SCR, most likely a RB80, EDO04, Tuorill MK or similar.
Purpose, cave exploring and deep wreck diving. If you have experience on this field please enlighten me !
In wather advantages:
Breathing hot gas during cold wather diving
Less bubbels, less silt
Gas duration
Gas block, easy to switch gas when deep diving
In wather disadvantages:
More complicate during demanding situations
Breathing effort, Co2 hazzard
More complicate logistics regarding bailout in caves
Monitoring Po2, or hazzard if not monitoring
Hard to keep a simple configuration
On shore advantages:
Drive tanks will last a lot longer and require less frequent re-fills
Able to do several dives on same tanks without carry theme in and out from the cave
On shore disadvantages:
More weights to carry when diving remote caves
Hard to keep system clean while assambling the unit inside a drycave
Pre-post dive preparations
Maintenance
