I am just planning+purchasing some new toys....
As I want to be as independent as possible I buy a compressor and tanks.
My first plan was to go with 15 liter 300 bar steel tanks. So one tank is enough for two relaxed dives. As I might go to some places per bus, I don't want to go with 2 heavy Alu tanks. (all warm water)
I thought of a TAG valve and using 2 first stages.
Setup 1:
First first stage: My Mares Abyss+Transmitter Uwatec Aladin Air X Nitrox+BCD hose.
Second first stage: My old Mares Abyss (now Octopus) + pressure gauge.
Now I got an alternative idea:
Setup 2
Mono valve, 1 first stage 1 regulator
But a second small 300 bar bottle (1-3 Liter).
While I think the 2nd Setup is better, does it has an advantage in real life?
It only helps if the tank fails. The only two reasons I can think of is, dirt inside that block the valve. Possible??
Or out of air, but I see no possible technical way that an out of air can develope.
Any ideas???
