Rebreather and twin set team question?

[Superlyte27]

LOL, that's funny.... sorta

[rjack]

I make my buddies carry a buddy bottle, usually an AL80. I carry 2 bottles all the time anyways for my bailout. Self-rescue is my main thing when diving with OC divers. It isn't so much an issue when they are SM because of the redundancy, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I'd do essentially the opposite, on OC I'd dive the stages and leave the doubles alone. If it was going to be a 2 or 3 stage dive for me on OC I'd expect the CCR diver to bring about 66% of the gas I had in stages.

When I first started training, the word was to NOT dive mixed teams.....that mindset evolved soon after and developing plans to dive mixed teams has been evolving ever since. In a mixed team, I assume the OC diver will be the defining amount of gas or turn the dive first and carries the same Third gas as they would if the buddy was OC. The CCR diver carries twice that as bailout gas.

Conversation I heard last week at JB between a RB diver and an OC diver:

RB: Do you know what to do if I go unconscious?

OC: Exit the cave and call Edd?

LMAO.

I would think if this "issue" needs to be hashed out online, then someone didn't get adequately trained.

Consider this the start of my "adequate training". As someone who is getting into rebreathers, I'd like to hear ALL opinions on this issue and any other issue, get training on the subject, and then draw my own conclusions.

If the one on RB carries the proper bailout, there should be no issue with gas supply.

Plus enough bail out for OC team member. Assuming 2 man team.

Suggest long hose on at least one bottle.

OC members need a brief understanding on what can go wrong on RB and what actions the CC diver will take. Also what actions OC diver can do to help.

Hope this helps.
