Re: Should I carry bailout??

Hello all,

I am just starting diving CCR, in my case is the Classic Kiss. The tanks are 3 liters each, the air one filled up to 230 bars.

The question is as follows: bearing in mind that for a time I shall be using the unit on multilevel dives, not deeper than 30 meters, with no deco, do you think that carrying bailout is necessary?

My thinking (I maybe wrong, thatīs why I am posting this question), is that having the unit the BOV, the bailout is not necessary on this kind of diving, specially if care is taken and avoid being deeper than 18 meters when the air SPG is below 100 bares.

By other side, Jetsam recommends always having bailout.
It never ceases to amaze me how many guys continue to dive without adequate bailout. The days of thinking that I can safely bail out to my 2 or 3 litre dil tanks are long gone.

If you still aren't sure if you should carry it then look at this video, then ask yourself the question again.

Take bailout every time you go diving and lots of it........
