When you guys dive Buford, do you tote in your doubles or do you use a single tank with H-valve or some other configuration? Thanks.

If you want to kill yourself carry doubles out there. I know two guys that did it and really wished they hadn't. depending on how long you plan to deco. :-D I did it with a Steel LP 85 pumped so whats that 100 cuft.
Most say a single 130 is the ticket. I bet a pumped LP 95 would be perfecto.

We did HP100s on H valves sand it was fine.
If you want to hit the back I would take minimal 130cf
If you want to take your doubles be sure to keep your reg in your mouth in case you end up face first in the mud and cant get up. Or you could hire a few sherpas.
I guess now would not be the right time to post pictures of wives or girlfriends (that have no issues at all with humping doubles back to Buford) carrying doubles through the swamp...Quote:

No one "needs" doubles at buford. That is unless you attach your pick and shovel to the back of them for "exploration tools". :wink:Quote:

He's talking about the connection to Big Gator, not Little Gator.Quote:
