Hi decoweenie,

I know you know the EDO04 very well ( back on it so?? )
Just a thougt concerning the EDO reaction to an accidental opened loop ( disconnected hose or so ) you got no flood but an enormous freflow which is able to emptied you tanks in seconds if its occured in depth.

Actually Im always using my mCCR turned- EDO04 and a back mounted BOB with Kiss like counterlungs..
Double breather is a pain cause there is much more possibility to be killed on such a complex rig ( many more hose connection and failure point) and not sure that's the right tool to save your life if needed.
Cedric is right when saying you need plenty of oC gaz in an emmergency situation. Co2 hit with not enough gaz and your dead
So a better way is to consider that the BOB is only able to Help you for an emmergency deco.

Just my two cents ...
