As far as I know:
- Cannot change 2nd stages underwater with it as it uses non-standard 
couplings
- Can you remove the second stage cover to clean it under water without 
tools?
- hoses, etc., non-standard

No. FULL redundancy - meaning extra, extra, extra - will lead you to carry 
way too much kit which leads to problems associated with:
- complexity
- increased water resistance
