| Re: Weight belt/harness management in emergency
[quote=sven]I assume your question is how to deal with the sudden negative buoyancy, when flooding the loop and/or the unit completely? If this is the case, here my thoughts:
Yes, thats the question.
I think that few people do ask themself what to do and configure their rig to self rescue.
More, I think its impossible to help his/her buddy if its impossible to drop his weight belt ( weight harness for exemple ) if the Rebreather is completely flooded.
I also guess that if your weight belt exactly compensate the buyoyancy of the loop, your still little heavy at bottom, but dramaticaly lightweighted at the end of a fast ascent.
A partial weight drop could be a solution? |
