You are right, LakeLover. Knowing that BO is available provides peace of mind in all kind of compromised diving situations. I have noticed in risky OC dives that the stress level, and hence gas consumption, decreases significantly when you have bailout and dependable dive buddies.

My problem is that I have been in OC since 1979.....was taught by the military, and emergency ascendings from -30 meters in almost zero visibility waters was part of the routine training.....I use to feel so confident when OC diving, and now have to change my mind completely and recognize the plain truth, that CCR are new to me and that these units have extreme performances but are not so forgiveful as OC when Murphy shows up.

Thanks

AndreSPP, It was very wise of you to post your question here; many fools would have simply gone ahead and done what they wanted to. I respect you for being brave enough to post, and smart enough to listen to all of these very smart and experienced people! Happy Diving!
