| Re: redundant O2
When I get together with my Rebreather cave buddies, we carry a "Rebreather Long Hose" that can connect to a female LP fitting (i.e., to the manual add O2 counterlung hose) to a male LP fitting (i.e., to the manual add LP QD counterlung fitting). We also have, like most Rebreather divers, an extra hose with an LP QD fitting on all bailout cylinders. With this, we can share air utilizing *any* onboard/offboard gas amongst anyone who is in need. It's pretty handy. Coil it up and place it in a dry suit pocket or wherever. It cost about $100 to make and I don't have to carry another cylinder; my buddy has it/them. So, we can share gas just like in open circuit. 
Credit should go to Gregg Stanton (Wakulla Diving Center) for that one.
