[quote=schford]In addition to bailing out to get your RMV it is also worth occasionally bailing out all the way to the surface to keep your skills up with regards to managing your loop all the way to the surface when on OC.

Is it a PITA to keep emptying the loop on the way up and if you were stressed and forgot it you could find yourself with a full loop rapidly propelling you to the surface......

Nicety of back mounted counter lungs, in this situation, just fill with dil and ignore, the confined maximum volume is only marginally greater than there working volume, so just let the OPV do it's job on ascent. One less thing to deal with. No changes to bouyancy during the ascent phase.
