The post mans just been and I received my copy of "Scuba Diver"
magazine so I had a flick thru and found an article by our boy
wonder Richard Taylor titled "Enough is Enough Is It" (an irreverent
look at redundancy in diving). Oh its a gem of an article supporting
bits and pieces like "Spare Air" "H-Valves" "Y- Valves" single cylinders
with pony bottles, twin independent cylinders etc etc but the real 
gem is at the end of the article where he's developed a table naming
each piece of equipment and how many of each you need to score
the highest possible redundancy!!!! or at least thats how it appears to read
but it so convoluted I'm still not quite sure.

Fortunatly before this article theres an article by Michael Wisenbaker
called "A  Craving for Caves" which shows the real deal, it outlines the
activities
of the WKPP and the research being done in Florida. Excelent article
great photos, shows what successful diving is all about.
