hey Gilles,
sometimes, just by moving your left arm, the ADV starts pumping dil inside, and it ruins the mix.
also, keeping the minima amount of gas inthe lungs is another thing. it seems that i have big lungs, and each time i take a breath, the ADV used to screw up everything
.
If having it open causes a problem, then close it. For me, it doesn't cause any problem about 90% of the time, so I don't close it for no reason.

i would suggest you put a green hose instead of the yellow on the O2. i guess more or less divers can recognize that colour to be associated with o2 or richer mix...
just another thought. (i mean you made the move to change colour, why not green?) no offence Gilles,
I had the yellow hose in my spares. I don't think the color is as important as being able to see it and where it goes. On me you see a bright yellow line from my left man-ad to right onboard tank.
Don't worry, I love having differing opinion, with a civil discussion. There's almost always something learned. Anyone with half-decent intentions will have great difficulty offending me
(famous last words).

also, just thinking that if i ever found an uncosious diver onthe bottom, i would be reluctant to give him the mix he is having as i wont know what mix it is... i mean if he/she is uncoscious, then you wonder how long have they been like that? is it worth trying to stick air though their mouth? but if they are breathing, i would give them my bail out mix, as i will be sure that that is a safe gas to let him/her breath.
a few thoughts ...
Thanks.
If I found an unconcious Rebreather buddy (without BOV), I think I would make an immediate (attempted) controlled acsent to surface, and begin resuscitation maneouvres.
With a BOV, switch it on. If no bubbles, action as above. With bubbles, then there's options.
