The Ultimate Bad Example
My buddy hangs off of my waistbelt d-rings and has never paniced on me.
What form of air source redundancy?

Down to 60 or so feet with good conditions the surface is my redundant air supply. Below that depth or should there be some condition I am not happy with--entaglement hazards, low viz, cold, darkness etc---then I will sling a pony or even resort to doubles or independent doubles.

Usually and 120cf steel tank with an H-Valve and a pony...sometimes doubles. Depends on my dive plan and the conditions.

Normally double 72's, I haven't had a reason to need my double 108's on a solo dive yet. Or I will sling one of my bottles, either 30 or 40, with a single tank.

Since I've been diving doubles when I got into tech except for pool sessions with students all I seem to dive with is doubles now. Last solo I did was with my double lp85's with air and a slung 40 with 32% that I used for my ascent after spending 15 minutes at 120+ feet. Just checking out a hole in our local training lake and practicing some gas switching and deco stops.

Ditto, surface, CESA, stay within NDL limits.

CESA or twin 80s.

Doubles. Often with a 40 cf bottle of 50-100% to burn off deco, or act as a bail out. I'm writing this with my new Megaladon CCR (minus the breathing loop) sitting behind me- gonna have to rethink the solo thing here, pretty soon- but I know I'll be doing it again.
