FWIW Ive noticed at times with a flooded unit the solenoid can fire continuously as sometimes the flooded cell output indicates low ppo2s (not in every case - but Ive had it happen to me) This could explain the empty O2 tank.

Personally in bad viz tight cave Id rather not rely on a BOB if OC staging was easy enough, as I have found they can be hard to manage in zero viz (cant see displays)unless using a very good hud. Off course having said that you can plan to run bob semiclosed during bad vis parts of exit.

Personally rather than relying on a BOB for such a dive Id rather clip more than enough OC tanks on the line as should be able to find them easily enough (by following line) even in zero viz and dont need to see them to use them. Ginnie depths even this far in doesnt really warrant a BOB IMO, But we all have our own preferances on how we do things.
