| Re: Should I carry bailout??
On May 25th 2006 I was at about 20 metres depth when I suffered a full flood on my CCR, I received a full caustic cocktail without any notice, burning my mouth, my throat and air passage and causing me to vomit uncontrollably.
Fortunately, I had bailout, I half emptied an ali-40 cuft in the 2 minutes it took me to get to the surface, puking all the way.
My DSV was caked in caustic material, if I had a BOV it would have been the same. The strength of the cocktail, stripped the anodizing from one of my VR3s underwater!
If I did not have bailout, I would have died.
It was my daughter's first birthday.
I wouldn't get into a swimming pool without bailout.
