Re: Should I carry bailout??

Hi,


First of all, Carbon Fiber Cylinders give you much more gas than aluminum cylinders from the same size since aluminum cylinders are 200 bars and CFCs are 300 bars. So if you take 5 liters aluminum cylinder with you for bail-out you would need 3,2 liters CFC to give you approximately the same amount of gas that the 5 liters aluminum cylinder would with minor difference of 100 liters. Having CFC mounted on the back of the unit makes trimming more horizontal since these cylinders are too light then they support you to stablize your position underwater (though you will need identical cylinders to be mounted for example 3 liter X 2) Otherwise the balance would be affected. CFCs are great for travelling and for those who have back problems.


Best Regards. Wael
