Auto Air's work for me

Admit i have had to crank it down a touch to stop it bleeding off, but it saves me on shallow (up to 35m)diving from having to take a stage with me.

I.E off to Egypt 2morro on a Liverboard diving the Northern Wrecks for a week. The Auto air saves me from having to take an extra reg with me and hiring a pony bottle out there. As the 3ltr inboard is fine for me as bailout on typical redsea diving.

So all in all it also reduces weight, and we all know how hard it is to travel with a CCR nowadays with such tight weight restrictions

Fair point, but the same benefits can be had by installing a power inflator and plumbing in a normal reg onto the Dil side.

On my rig I have a GCS so I can use the 3 liter of dill if need be and also access the 3 liter of O2 at 6m so all of the gas is available.

Plus the Auto air is a big old thing.
