| Re: To BOV or not BOV - Split From NACD Cave Summit
I have a BOV connected to the inboard of my Classic Kiss.
My thinking is that I like rebreathers to rebreathe, and bailout to be seperate, so bailout only has a reg connected to it - fewer things to go wrong. And it can be handed off if needs be.
The reason I have a BOV is that it makes it easier for me to get on my off-board. Yes I can hold my breathe, spit the loop, and fumble for an OC reg. But it's far easier for me to do this with a working reg in my mouth. Especially if I go hypercapnic.
