This is a repost, I corrected a flaw before I was slammed.

 Bob Raimo has brought up a point of bailout bottles. It's always
 been my understanding that the 50/50 I was carrying was only for
 deco and I carried enough bottom mix to do my deco if I lost my
 deco bottle. I took ANDI's course so I could get deco fills.
 I will say that it was always stressed that I shouldn't use any gas
 deeper than it's MOD, it's been a few years since then so maybe
 things have changed.

 Getting to this bailout issue, aren't you supposed to have enough
 bottom gas in case of emergency? And if you carry a pony (be it a
 40 cu.ft. or a slung 80 cu.ft - not travel mix or deco, obviously) 
shouldn't
 it have gas you can breathe at any depth you might reach? I consider
 much of this common sense but if you ask anyone that knows me,
 they'll tell you I'm screwy, so maybe I'm wrong.
