I would like to extend my training by adding redundancy/extended bottom time.
Options are:
I understand that on this board most of people are advocates for manifolds as you can still get 100% of the remaining air for many types of failures.
However I would have preferred to not own my own cylinders as I live in a smallish flat.
My end goal has always been to do visit wrecks and caves and this is what I want to work towards but safely. At the moment I am doing recreational diving to improve my diving.
So if you guys tell me that it is almost a requirement to own your own cylinders when doing cave diving or wreck penetration then I will bite the bullet and buy cylinders as I might as well own them.
But I was wondering if some of you are doing sidemount or independent cylinders with rental cylinders during cave. I suspect the answer is no.
Sorry if this is a silly question but it’s not easy to get these answers, I’ll ask around in my club next time I go there: there are people doing twinsets, but I am interested in hearing many point of views.
Options are:
- Twin-set manifold
- Twin-set indies
- Sidemount
- CCR
