I didn't pay any attention to them. I think they did a circle around the tie off at @ 115 fsw. They both had very large singles (120's). One of them at least had an h-valve. Appropriate if they stayed above 130fsw for just a few minutes of BT, I guess. What a waste if you ask me.
The diver I spoke to was wearing a the large 120cf tank, with 26% Nitrox, but it was set-up with a single tank valve with a yoke fitting - He was also not carrying any form of redundant air source. After the dive he indicated to me that he had a total run time of about 35 minutes, but I don't recall if he mentioned how much of that was actually spent on the bottom. I'm sure he strayed a fair distance from the tie off, because I recovered his neopreme weight belt a decent distance from the tie off and into the current and brought it back to the boat, but I never saw him underwater and I didn't know it was his belt at the time - It only had a 3-4 pounds in it.

Man, I love my Rebreather!!! 160fsw for 30 minutes on the bottom, and could deco out OC on two AL40's. Scott and I want to go back and do a 45 minute BT with an 80 and 40.
Just say when Eric and I'm there!
