I am not sure if this question is in the right section. If it is not, I hope that the moderator will help me.
I have a question that relates to the minimum of air one should have in order to resurface safelly with his buddy. Most "scholl of thought" would indicate that you need to calculate the amount of air that you need to safely surface ( including deco/safety stops ) for both YOU AND YOUR BUDDY. plus a certain reserve. Lets say 50 bars (700 PSI?).
My questions has to do with the frequency of medium pressure line failure during ascent wich is, in my opinion, the only real reason why you want to have air for your buddy ( appart from LOA which has nothing to do in this case). Correct me if I am wrong, my questions relates to tropical water so I guess that the elimination of uncontrolable free flow is reasonable . EXPERTS PLEASE CORRECT ME IF YOU THINK I AM CRAZY
For those, who have experienced a medium pressure line failure, could you tell me if this was: before the dive ( on the boat ) first 30% of the dive, second 30% of the dive, last 30% of the dive or during ascent/safety stops. Please consider dives in open water without cover. Cave or wreck diving is another matter where lines can be severely treated
Thank you.
