Going inside down tight corridors with wires and crap all over the place? I've tried it and it's a tangle point. Typically leave the O2 at the anchor line and pick it up before I come back. For the deeper wrecks and Trimix I'll usually carry all my deco gas or like you drop the O2. If I'm not planning to go inside a wreck or under hull plates then I'll carry it. Very difficult to dig with a scooter under a hull plate with a deco bottle rigged. It's just cumbersome. If you can't make it back to the line then you execute your deco plan you should have for the loss of your deco gas. Not finding it or finding it and having the O-Ring blow are the same thing. You've got to execute your fallout plan.

Evwn then I only use a 30 cu foot bottle of oxygen, so carrying it is no big deal unless I have two other deco gases already, but generally I do not, I only use the 50/50 and the bottom gas unless we are beyond 300 feet.
