Re: OC bail out question

Yes but you still could have a first stage failure on the offboard gas. I have an OC/DSV and its hooked into my manifold which has the inboard and offboard plugged into it. I still carry another second stage on the offboard

Hi Dave,

Does this means that because the in-board and off-board are linked, a failure in either will compromise the entire supply, or have I missed something - a 1 way valve into the manifold perhaps..??
Why not run the in-board through the ADV to go open loop, and the BOV/ OC/DSV via the outboard, giving true redundancy, bar the DV of course.

I have done some diving using a BOB/twin rebreather and in my experience you need to go OC in-between the primary rebreather and switching to the secondary Dave
More kit. I thought rebreathers we supposed to simplify things
