Re: Should I carry bailout??

I learnt to dive an inspiration at the end of last year and the first question I ask myself when planning any dive isn't "Should I carry bailout" The question I ask is "How much bailout do I need".

As I am new to Rebreather diving I am only diving shallow while I build up my experience but generally I carry a 5ltr stage cylinder as bailout, I have an auto air inflator which feeds of the Dil cylinder ,(fitted as standard on an Inspiration), plus I have a 2nd stage attached to my O2 cylinder for use above 10m if I have to deco on OC.

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.

I'll appreciate your feedback on this matter, as well as you please let me know if you carry separate bailout on this kind of recretional diving.

TIA,
Andres
