With a 3000 psi cylinder, that's HALF, and with a 2640 is HALF + 200. Where is your turn point for non-penetration no-deco dives? You can construct many of these kinds of scenario. In the end it comes down to planning the dive, with contingencies. >> Being near the anchor line is not the issue, the issue is you are out of gas and your Y valve is not going to save you. You are right, these scenarios could be be contructed ad infinitem, and you are also right that planning a dive with contigencies for potential problems is first priority. However, OOA is OOA and a Y valve is not a contingency plan for an OOA situation, a pony tank is. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
