hello Jon O,
regarding your concerns about mistakenly pressing the lung and adding some dil in i suggest you use a shut off valve on the ADV. then there is no problem. try it and let me know.

Spyros;
I will contradict you here. Although I believe in having the shut-off valve, I would recommend to leave it open until having it open causes a problem.
I contradict all who subscribe to routinely shutting it once at bottom.
Why not leave it open and provide an easy and instant means to flush out your loop?(that's the way it works on the Meg anyway).

Gilles,
i have fought with these thoughts for a long time now, and i have come to the conclusion that in case of an emergency and another diver finds you unconscious, then if is a Rebreather diver, or better say an RB familiar diver, i guess he/she should know which is which or should recognize which is which quite fast.
JohnyB would argue that he wouldn't want to be spending time analyzing the setup to ensure he's pressing the right buttons. He seemed so committed to the "right is rich" principal, that the discussion influenced me to installing a yellow man-ad hose (to my left CL).

if is a non Rebreather familiar diver, do you think he/she can save you in any other way, apart from sticking an oc reg into your mouth?
Thanks
Absolutely not. The only way a nonRB diver could assist is if I instructed and practised the turning on of my BOV (which I normally do).
