Regardless of which type of alternate air source you
select, remember that its performance will depend on the ability
of the regulator first stage to deliver air, particularly
when it is supplying two second stages and a power
inflator. The bottom lines: Given the type of diving you
plan to do, how will it work for you in a worst-case scenario?
How much risk are you willing to accept? If you dive solo, under
demanding conditions or in overhead environments, the greater
your need for a completely independent air source and a
high-performance regulator as your alternate air source. |
