| Re: What bail-out for normoxic trimix?
If I have air dil then I have air bail out, if I have mix dil then I have mix bail out. In the grand scheme of things you will go a long time before you need to use it so cost is not an issue.
One thing I'd add, after a flood at 60m on my third dive... stay on the loop as far as you can. Staying on OC I felt made the problem worse. Get out of the mindset of bailing to OC if there are other options. If anything, your bailout becomes a sanity check while you try to solve the problem so you do not want any increase in narcosis.
After you've been on CC, going to OC is a horrible experience. It's cold, it's mechanical and the work of breathing seems sooooo much higher. I personally wouldn't want to feel like I was sucking treacle through my reg at depth... go for some helium.
