Standard 80cft side-mounted tanks for CCR?

I don't think moose was refering to that one.

Crap, I found the article shortly after posting and edited my post to add a link and a comment. Guess it didn't take. I blame technology.

The article I was thinking about was here: http://www.advanceddivermagazine.com/ADMEZINE/Issues/ADME-Zineissue4.pdf, pages 36-37. Shows a Meg and a Kiss Classic set up using only offboard sidemount.

Regarding CCR with offboard, it has been "advertised" before by some manufacturers. If I remember correctly, the Pathfinder was one of them: O2 on-board and dilout.

The Kiss Spirit series (Orca Spirit, Spirit LTE, and Sidewinder) also utilize O2 onboard with offboard dilout. Ditto with the Sidekick CCR conversions.

Sorry but I don't understand.
You mean a tear in the loop AND no inflating possibility. Bad day!

Think about handing over your bailout which is also your only OC source and then, while climbing the ladder, a wave makes you fell over and you tear the loop in the process. No so improbable ----
