after having dived my Dolphin in SCR-mode, and added a second gas, it was time to go all the way.
KISS-valve has been installed, and yesterday I had two successfull ocean-dives in CCR-mode.
This is fun!

But:
The Uwatec/Oxy2 is giving me deco really fast! -my OC-buddy for the day (a.k.a. Swimming-bailout-man) on air, had more no-decotime than I had. And I breathed from about 28% to 40% during the dives. What gives? -is it that crappy? Must I get a VR3 right away?

Other then that, I'm very happy with the setup.
Currently I use a 4l for O2 and a 5l for Dil/Drysuit/bailout. Then I dont need a stage until I start deep/decoing on it.
The steel box, lets me use little weights, and the entire setup is actually rather light. More like 2x7/200-bottles on the wing.
