Stainless steel knitting.

Just thinking through the comment about the Boris being an Expedition rebreather. No reason why it shouldn't be but unless dived (dove?

) Alpine, all that "nice to dive" will be offset by the bailout.

Was wondering how the Expedition divers handle bailout on it?

Would Boris divers like to mount external cylinders on the unit or are they happy slinging?

I'm quite happy slinging thanks, every rig I've seen with multiple external cylinders looks way too bulky, plus it makes the routing of the offboard hose connectors neater and less likely to be an entrapment hazard.

let me tell you now we are not giving up any more table space on the Empress.

Yeh we need to reserve as much table space as we can for the beer!

Cheers Fred.

Are you on the March Trip? Is Kevin?

Looking forward to it -should be a good one.

I like to keep the bailout seperate and slung due to the fact you would on a big dive (depth or distance) have staged bailout and be switching bail gas. You would drop off the old bail and clip on the next as you ascend.
